[R] POSIX time zone codes

[Jason Horn]

Thank you again Gabor, that did the trick.  Any thoughts on where I  
go go for a reference for these time codes?  Where did you get  
"CDT6CST" from?  Or is this just one of those things that is "common  
knowledge" in UNIX circles.

To the R developers:  I recommend a sentence be added to the manual  
for as.POSIXxx such as "vales for tz are system dependent, examples  
for common systems are....."




Thanks!
