C++ Time and Date Manipulation

Hi I am currently working on a porject I class that involves manipulating the time and date and can not figure out how to go about doing it.

The program is supposed to simulate a shipping company, and I need to to say when the package is delivered. So what I basically need is for it to find the current time and date, and than just add a certain number of days to it, anywhere from 1 to 9 days. Your help would be much appreciated.

I am looking for examples, using VC, on how to retrieve gmt time, what days daylight saving time begins and ends. Indicating "GMT + or - # and so forth, and what time zone and etc.
I want to incorporate this feature into my complete date manipulation tool box. Can anyone help me out please.

Thx, Gumballs

Code:

		/*MessageBox::Show(System::DateTime::Now.Ticks.ToString());
		MessageBox::Show(System::DateTime::Now.ToString("yyyy"+" "+"dd"+"  "+"hh"+"  "+"mm"));
			// displays the full name of the day ( ie Monday );
		MessageBox::Show(System::DateTime::Now.ToString("dddd"));
		MessageBox::Show(System::DateTime::Now.ToString("ss")); */

		System::DateTime today = System::DateTime::Now;
		System::DateTime answer = today.AddMilliseconds(2000);
		while (System::DateTime::Now <= answer);
		//this->button4->Visible  = "False";
		this->button4->Visible  = false;

Dont know about GMT

IF you could add the feature of auto day light saving this would be an add ;)
