            # I recently had a long dialog about this with the developer of timegenie.com.

            #   GMT +1 - From March 1 to the last Sunday in March

            
            #   GMT +2 - From the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October

            
            #   GMT +1 - From the last Sunday in October until November 7

            
            #   GMT +0 - From November 7 until March 1

            
            # The dates for switching to and from UTC+0 will probably not be absolutely

            
            # correct, but they should be quite close to the actual dates.

	# From Paul-Inge Flakstad (2014-03-10):
	# I recently had a long dialog about this with the developer of timegenie.com.
	# In the absence of specific dates, he decided to choose some likely ones:
	# GMT +1 - From March 1 to the last Sunday in March
	# GMT +2 - From the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October
	# GMT +1 - From the last Sunday in October until November 7
	# GMT +0 - From November 7 until March 1
	# The dates for switching to and from UTC+0 will probably not be absolutely
	# correct, but they should be quite close to the actual dates.
	#
	# From Paul Eggert (2014-03-21):
	# The CET-switching Troll rules require zic from tz 2014b or later, so as
	# suggested by Bengt-Inge Larsson comment them out for now, and approximate
	# with only UTC and CEST. Uncomment them when 2014b is more prevalent.

	# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
	# time as Moscow, Russia.
	#
	# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
	# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
	# what they had to say about time there:
	# "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
	# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
	# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
	# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
	# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."
	#
	# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
	# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
	# in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
	# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
	# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
	# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
	# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
	# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess +06.

	# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,

	# at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 Degrees South.)

	# We use the same time as McMurdo does.
	# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
	# One last quirk about South Pole time.
	# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
	# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
	# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
	# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
	# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
