 Remarks 

 The dayofweek value is based on Sunday equal to zero.  The value of 
 timezone is the difference in minutes between the current time zone and 
 UTC.  This number is positive if it is earlier than UTC and negative if 
 it is later than UTC.  For Eastern Standard Time, this value is 300 (5 
 hours earlier than UTC). 

 If the application is executing in the OS/2 environment, it is more 
 efficient to obtain these variables by calling DosGetInfoSeg instead of 
 this function. However, applications written to the family API cannot 
 depend on the availability of DosGetInfoSeg.
