[Boost-users] date_time: from local time to UTC

I am using Boost 1.31 data time library with MSVC6. I want to use local TZ 
setting to transfer a local time to utc time.

I noticed that we can use

                         boost::date_time::c_local_adjustor<ptime>::utc_to_local()

to change a utc time to local time based on local TZ settings.  But this 
class does not have local_to_utc(). While

                       boost::date_time::local_adjustor<ptime, -5, 
us_dst>::local_to_utc()

works, it does not use local TZ settings. Is there anyway I can use local TZ 
setting to do the translation?

Thanks
