How does one "set the time zone environment variable to 'GMT'" under Windows XP? The fCalendar documentation says repeatedly that this is required, but Brian Ripley said it's impossible (http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/47054.html). Thanks, spencer graves

One way is via
My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
where you get to pick between User and System variables.
I tend to launch reasonable applications such as R from a bash shell in
a Cygwin rxvt window. In that case it works as it does on Unix/Linux:
~> echo 'print(Sys.getenv("TZ"))' | Rterm --slave
TZ
""
~> export TZ="GMT"
~> echo 'print(Sys.getenv("TZ"))' | Rterm --slave
TZ
"GMT"
