# This kind of things had always been done this way in Argentina.

+# Hora de verano para la Republica Argentina (2000-10-01)
+# </a> says that standard time in Argentina from 1894-10-31

+# Unless otherwise specified, data are from Shanks through 1992, from

+# haven't verified this yet so for now we'll keep it a single region.
