Time Zones and CTime

[Dark Mage]

How can I get the time information
from a computer on the network that's
in a different time zone?

Here's my situation:
987081187.dat resides on a host machine
somewhere in the world, my app pulls
this accross a network, and needs to be
able to know what time this is on the
remote host, not it's own local time.
Is there a way to query this information
from the remote machine? The time and
time zone for that machine, then I can
modify the difference in the CTime with
this info.

So what might happen, is the remote might
need to search for 12/12/2001 12:05PM based
on the time on the remote host. So I was
hoping to have my app, after showing a browse
dialog for them to pick a location, to query
for the appropriate info from that machine,
so it could modify searches based on the return
info.

Thanks

Due to a glitch in _get_daylight (see http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualS...call-to-mktime)

the code looks something like this:

struct tm daylightfix;
time_t now;
time(&now);
daylightfix = *localtime(&now);
mktime(&daylightfix);
_get_daylight(&dst_hour);
CTime curr = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
CTime est = CTime(curr.GetTime()+((5+dst_hour)*60*60));
MessageBox(curr.Format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") + "," + est.Format("%Y-%m-%d H:%M:%S"));

For me, since I'm HST, we don't observe DST, so curr time adjusts accordingly for the est when done this way.
