#

# The article is in Arabic, and seems to tell that they will go back to

# winter time on 2008-11-01 at 00:00 local daylight time (delaying/setting

# ------- Comment #1 from [jmdocile] 2008-10-06 16:28 0000 -------

# Hi, there is a problem with timezone-data-2008e and maybe with

# timezone-data-2008f

# Argentinian law [Number] 25.155 is no longer valid.

# <a href="http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/60000-64999/60036/norma.htm">

# http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/60000-64999/60036/norma.htm

# </a>

# The new one is law [Number] 26.350

# <a href="http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/135000-139999/136191/norma.htm">
