If you have .NetExtender you can use VFP and .Net Framework this way:

CLEAR
oTimeZone = clrGetTypeReference("System::TimeZone","Mscorlib.dll")
oLocalZone = oTimeZone.CurrentTimeZone

? "Standard Time name:",oLocalZone.Standardname
? "Daylight Saving Time name:",oLocalZone.DayLightName
?
? "Current date and time:",DATETIME()
? "Daylight saving time?",oLocalZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(DATETIME())
UTC = oLocalZone.ToUniversalTime(DATETIME())
? "Coordinated Universal Time:",UTC.ToString
UTCOffset = oLocalZone.GetUtcOffSet(DATETIME())
? "UTC offset:",UTCOffset.ToString
DayLightTime = oLocalZone.GetDaylightChanges(YEAR(DATE()))
? "Daylight Savings Time period:",DayLightTime.Start.ToString,"-",dayLightTime.End.ToString,daylighttime.Delta.ToString

and get output like:

Standard Time Name: Central Standard Time
Daylight Savings Time name: Central Daylight Time

Current date and time: 04/20/07 11:10:51 PM
Daylight saving time? .T.
Coordinated Universal Time: 4/21/2007 4:10:51 AM
UTC offset: -05:00:00
Daylight Savings Time Period: 3/11/2007 2:00:00 AM - 11/4/2007 2:00:00 AM 01:00:00
