+# From Paul Eggert (2005-08-22):
+# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
+# with the following exceptions:
+#
+# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
+# Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
+#
+# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
+#
+# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
+# America/Kentucky/Louisville.
+#
+# - Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties have their own time zone
+# histories as noted below.
#
-# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
-# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
-# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
-# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
-# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
#
-# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
-# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
-# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
-# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
-#
# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
-#
-# Most of EST-only Indiana last observed DST in 1970.
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06), following a tip by Markus Kuhn:
-# Pam Belluck reported in the New York Times (2001-01-31) that the
-# Indiana Legislature is considering a bill to adopt DST statewide.
-# Her article mentioned Vevay, whose post office observes a different
-# time zone from Danner's Hardware across the street.
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-08-16):
+# http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html says that Indiana will use DST starting 2006,
+# and that many counties may switch either to Central or to Eastern time.
+# The county-by-county decisions have not been made yet, so for now assume
+# that no counties will switch: this assumption is most likely wrong,
+# but it's the best we can do for now.
