Thanks, Steven! For lurkers, here's what you get back:

typedef struct _DATETIME
{
UCHAR hours; /* 0..23 */
UCHAR minutes; /* 0..59 */
UCHAR seconds; /* 0..59 */
UCHAR hundredths; /* 0..99, 1/100 s */
UCHAR day; /* 0..31 */
UCHAR month; /* 0..12 */
USHORT year;
SHORT timezone; /* Difference in minutes between current time zone */
/* and GMT. >0 = west of Greenwich, -1 = undefined */
/* time zone. */
UCHAR weekday; /* 0..6 0=Sunday */
} DATETIME, *PDATETIME;

I need a simple little command line utility
which calls DosGetDateTime and then displays
the "SHORT timezone" value above.

It's about time I learned C, yes? Okay, here we
go -- let's see how many errors I can create:

timezone.c
----------
#include
define SHORT rc;
rc = DosGetDateTime;
call fprint (_DATETIME.timezone); (or is it printf?)
end;

No compiler here so I can't test it.
But somebody tell me: how's it look?
