Id just like to caution those who are considering adding enviornment variables to windoes. This can
cause a world of trouble.
I noticed that adding the enviornment variable *TZ* with the value *GMT* (without the *asteriks of
course) will make the javascript Date() object act differently.
for example,
<script type="text/javascript>
var now = new Date();
var hour = now.getHours();
document.write(hour); // outputs the GMT hour, NOT the SYSTEM hour!
</script>
normally you would expect the output to be the same hour as your system clock, but if you add the TZ
env var it will output the time in GMT instead
this was using opera 7.5x, i would imagine identical behaviour in all browsers
hope this saves someone the headache i just went through
