# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is

+# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
-# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
-# but Mark R V Murray reports that
-# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,

+# but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that
+# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa,
+# 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
+# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
-# He has heard of "Western Sahara Time" for +0:00 but can find no reference.
-#
-# To make things confusing, 'WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
-# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
-# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
-# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
-# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
-#
-# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
-# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
-# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
-# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
-# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
-# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
-# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
-# I realize that this leads to 'WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
-# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
-# until we get more information.
+#
+# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
+# +00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
+# +02 CAT Central Africa Time
+# +02 SAST South Africa Standard Time
+# and Murray suggested the following abbreviation:
+# +01 WAT West Africa Time
+# Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like.
+# I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but
+# cannot now come up with solid citations.

# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
