Here is a proposed patch to tzdata95c's southamerica file.
Bolivia was omitted inadvertently from tzdata95c; this patch brings it back.
I wrote hernan at isoft.com.ar and suggested that the zone name be
changed back from `Argentina/Buenos_Aires' to `America/Buenos_Aires'
to stick with the current naming conventions, and that the time zone
abbreviation be changed from ARS/ARD to ARST/ARDT (by analogy with New
Zealand). He wrote back that this seemed OK. He hadn't known about
the zone naming conventions.
I also came up with a more compact representation of his fix,
updated some of the comments to match the recent changes,
and fixed the spacing.

# From Hernan G. Otero <hernan at isoft.com.ar> (June 26, 1995):
# I am sending modifications to the Argentinian time zone table...
! # please check comments below to find out the source used.
! #
! # We did three modifications:
! #
! # * The table was completed for the missing years 1989-1993.
! # * The name of the time zone was changed from
! # America/Buenos_Aires to Argentina/Buenos_Aires
! # * The (short) names where changed from E%sT to AR%s (AR was
! # chosen because they are the ISO letters that represent
! # Argentina).
