Dear List,
I have a question about the following data lines
# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE
LETTER/S
Rule RussiaAsia 1992 only - Mar lastSat 23:00 1:00 S
Rule RussiaAsia 1992 only - Sep lastSat 23:00 0
- # i.e. Sep 26
Rule RussiaAsia 1993 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 1:00 S
# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Asia/Baku 3:00 1:00 BAKST 1991 Aug 30 # independence
3:00 RussiaAsia AZ%sT 1992 Sep lastSun
2:00s # i.e. Sep 27
4:00 - AZT 1996 # Azerbaijan time
Now if I try to interprete these lines I get:
from 1992 Mar to 1992 Sep 26 23:00 (local): GMTOFF= 3:00 and SAVE= 1:00
i.e. LOCALOFF= +4:00
==> 1992 Sep 26 23:00 (local) == 1992 Sep 26 19:00 zulu
from 1992 Sep 26 19:00 zulu to 1992 Sep 26 23:00 zulu: GMTOFF= LOCALOFF=
+3:00
from 1992 Sep 26 23:00 zulu to 1996: GMTOFF= LOCALOFF= +4:00
This would mean a local offset change ocurred for only four hours.
Is this correct?
Best Regards,
Klaus Schmid
