Just keep in mind, as I mentioned earlier, DST is not accounted for. So you
will first need to convert from EDT to EST and then use this function.
Otherwise your GMT will be one hour off. Of course, if you run your machine
on EST and do not switch to EDT, you will be fine.
Oh, I've assuming you really mean Universal Time (UT) when you're saying
GMT. If you actually mean the local time for the UK, then you'll need to
take their summer time change into effect also. Their summer time took
effect on March 25th this year, while US DST took effect on April 1st. So,
for one week the time difference was less than usual, but now the difference
is consistent.
