Most European countries switch to DST in the night saterday/sunday at
02.00 on the last week of march and switch back saterday/sunday 02.00
on the last week of september (except England/Ireland?).

Have a look at a real computer and OS :-) like SunOS
(/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/europe) and probably most workstations.
