Notes:
It's sometimes a bit tricky with the date class as setting one property often changes the others.
Answer: You can use the date class and the GMTOffset property.
Example:
// now
dim d as new date
// now in GMT
dim e as new date
e.GMTOffset = 0
// show
MsgBox str(d.TotalSeconds,"0.0")+" "+str(e.TotalSeconds, "0.0")
dim GMTTimeStamp as Double = e.TotalSeconds
// restore
dim f as new date
// add GMT offset here
f.TotalSeconds = GMTTimeStamp + f.GMTOffset*3600
// because here it's removed
f.GMTOffset = f.GMTOffset
MsgBox d.ShortTime+" ("+str(d.GMTOffset)+") "+str(d.TotalSeconds,"0.0")+EndOfLine+_
e.ShortTime+" ("+str(e.GMTOffset)+") "+str(e.TotalSeconds,"0.0")+EndOfLine+_
f.ShortTime+" ("+str(f.GMTOffset)+") "+str(f.TotalSeconds,"0.0")
