Not directly. Warp provides DosGetDateTime which amoung other things
returns the GMT offset.

At the language runtime level, there's usally something like tzset which
gets TZ from the environment and sets the runtime so that conversions work
correctly.

It really depends on the language you intend to write in. What's it going
to be? PL/1?

Regards,

Steven
