[Gambas-user] forcing time zone localization

[Kevin Fishburne]

I have a client/server application in which the server tells the client 
the date and time. The date and time is calculated by the server from an 
arbitrary starting point and at an arbitrary scale, but based on the 
server's system clock so that time still "advances" when the server 
application is not running. The client and server display the date and 
time using code like this:

Format$(CDate(DateCurrent), "mmmm d, yyyy, hh:nn:AM/PM")

I need Gambas to use a specific time zone for the client and server, 
ignoring the system time zone. I've read this:

http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/locale?v3

Is what I'm trying to do possible? What environment variable should I 
set in Gambas ($LC_ALL, $LANG), and is there an ISO or table of codes to 
choose from? I've looked at ISO 3166 here:

Thanks.
