Daylight Savings Time

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am trying to convert local time to GMT in a script. I can get the GMT offset
for standard time, but that is not valid when Daylight Savings Time is active. I
set the system clock for midsummer when DST is active and ran the script which
determines GMT offset. I got the same number I get for standard time.

Is there a way to detect whether DST is set and active? Or better yet, is there
a way to get GMT directly while the computer clock is set for the local time
zone?
