Differences between Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R and Open-source R

- In open-source R, the time zone database is stored as files within the R distribution (R_HOME/share/zoneinfo, although some platforms will check system-specific locations). Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R ships with a copy of the time zone database within the distribution for compatibility with R, but does not use it, preferring an internal database of time zones.
- In open-source R, the location of the time zone database can be defined using the environment variable TZDIR. Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R uses an internal database, and cannot be overriden.
