If this is of real interest - Windows 7 adjusts the clock for local DST in whatever region is involved- I know the time in New Zealand (important me as I have grandkids there) . This is related to network connections -off line it won't work.. In any case there is a 3 ,4, or 5 hour + a day, from Pacific time to Wellington time (depending on DST) How you transfer this to J is another problem- but it seems as if is not quite as complex as shown - and this raises another problem- why? Is it critical?

there should be some api in libc or windows dll to get utc time directly IIRC.

Here are additions I've made to datetime.ijs (addons/type)

utcnow_z_ '' returns utc time tested on mac and windows.

a question about 6!:0 ... when DST changes, will it report the changes without 
reloading J? Some OS change the time automatically, while others ask to change 
clock, or do they all ask?

Now_z_ =: 6!:0@:(''"_)
utcBIAS_z_ =: 3 : 0 '' NB. may bug on unix if loaded at turn of month/year,  so 
redo.  Must reload on DST change
if. IFWIN do. 0,~ >1{ getTimeZoneInfo_rgsdatetime_ ''
elseif. IFIOS do. 0
elseif. 1 do.  t=. +/ 3600 60 1 * (2 3 4{6!:0'') -~ (0&".@:>@:(1&{),~ 
".@:>@:{:@:;:@:>@:{.) ':' cut 2!:0 'date -u'
if. 0=15|t do. t, 0 else.  0 ,~ +/ 3600 60 1 * (2 3 4{6!:0'') -~ (0&".@:>@:(1&{),~

)
utc_z_ =: tsPlus&utcBIAS
utcnow_z_ =: utc@:Now ''"_
