Subject: Entry For Europe/Athens

Hi,
 
I've been working on a issue with Geosetter which uses your timeinfo database.
 
Please see http://www.geosetter.de/mantis/view.php?id=572 for some more history.
 
This is for Europe 8.20, but Geosetter ships with 8.12.
 
>From this point on we are talking about 8.20
 
Lines 1212 to 1218 inclusive.

I'm not sure where the problem lies? Maybe Geosetter can not handle the # out lines within the rules.
