I was able to find all from about 1969. ! 101: # ! 102: # ...standardization ! 103: # on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on first Sunday in ! 104: # April and last Sunday in September. In UK it was from last but 1 Sunday ! 105: # in march to last Sunday in October. In 1981 UK joined Europe insofar that ! 106: # the starting day for both shifted to last Sunday in March. And from 1982 ! 107: # the whole of Europe used DST, with switch dates April 1 and October 1 in ! 108: # the Sovjet Union. In 1985 the SU reverted to standard Europen switch ! 109: # dates. Note that currently in the UK the switch back date appears not ! 110: # to be the last Sunday in October, but 4 weeks after the last Sunday in ! 111: # September (withness 1982 and 1983 with terminating days October 24 and 23). ! 112: # ! 113: # It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g. ! 114: # Portugal switched in 1976 from MET (or CET) to WET with DST, and the UK ! 115: # used MET throughout from 1967 to 1969, and WET with DST before and after ! 116: # that time. Note also that though there were rules for switch dates not ! 117: # all countries abided to these dates, and many individual deviations ! 118: # occurred, though not since 1982 I believe. Another note: it is always ! 119: # assumed that DST is 1 hour ahead of normal time, this need not be the ! 120: # case; at least in the Netherlands there have been times when DST was 2 hours ! 121: # in advance of normal time. ! 122: # ! 123: # ... ! 124: # dik t. winter, cwi, amsterdam, nederland ! 125: # INTERNET : [email protected] ! 126: # BITNET/EARN: dik@mcvax
