[R] time zone conversion

[McGehee, Robert]

Hello,

I'm trying to convert times in the EST/EDT (New York) format to times in
the GMT/BST (London) and UTC+9 format (Tokyo). That is, if I know what
time it is in New York, what is local time in London and Tokyo?

Ex:
Here's the conversion from New York EST/EDT time to London's GMT/BST
time zone for three days in 2007. Note that the US and London change to
daylight savings on different days (Tokyo doesn't use daylight savings
at all), so this conversion is non-trivial.

2007-03-01 12:00:00 EST = 2007-03-01 17:00:00 GMT
2007-03-15 12:00:00 EDT = 2007-03-01 16:00:00 GMT
2007-04-01 12:00:00 EDT = 2007-03-01 17:00:00 BST

Is any of the time zone/daylight savings information coded up somewhere?

Thanks,
Robert
