No, there's not. There are too many variations in timezones and daylight
saving/summer time offsets. The only way to be certain with timezone
adjustments is to run your computer in GMT and then build your own functions
to adjust to local time. If you need to have multiple local times, be sure
to stay up-to-date with daylight savings/summer time offsets. Many
countries change these thruout the year for various reasons. For example,
Australia had a very early summertime adjustment for one year last year for
the Olympics.
For current daylight savings adjustments see www.timeanddate.com.
