I saw couple of posting Whether you can even do this, and if so whether the result will be valid beyond the Autumn, depends on your operating system and country. > on net which suggest getTimezoneoffset or may be calculation with > dates from script gives correct offset including day light saving > time but i am not sure how correct this is.
