a feature to.
I've been searching the web all weekend for a simple (or not so simple,
but easy to understand) solution to no avail.

How can I determine what the Time Bias was (or will be) on a specific date?
Using GetTimeZoneInformation and the related SYSTEMTIME and
TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structures, I have no problem doing these calculations
for the current system time, but that's not what I need to do.  I need ...
