<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello...<BR><BR>At first, thank you for your work. It is very
important for us, astrologers.<BR><BR>We decided to write you because we made
part of an astrological discussion group called Ptolomeo. Some people
wrote asking about Argentina timezones few weeks ago and all of the argentine
astrologers told that 'Shanks, Elsie data and other english sources have
errors'. So, Dra. Amelia Urbina, member of the group, has contacted the Naval
Observatory of Buenos Aires and she got the following results. Please see the
next images:<BR><BR>From Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires -

<DIV><FONT size=2>If you take a look at your data, Argentina have some DST
periods from 1975 to 1987, but according to the Naval Observatory official data
(and these have a total acceptance by the argentine astrologers), there was no
time changes in these years, as shown below:<BR><BR>Elsie data from
