/**
In Task Scheduler TTsTime is used to represent time as either UTC or Local Time.
It is used by many of the Task Scheduler API's and also used internally within Task Scheduler.
This class is not expected to be stored by Task Scheduler clients.

It provides EXPORTed APIs for constructing, setting and getting UTC and Local Time.

Internally the object always holds time as UTC (using the data member iUTC) irrespective of 
whether the object is local time based or UTC based. 

If the object is local time based iOffset will be set to the system TimeZone/DST offset.
When UTC based iOffset will always be 0. 

Therefore:

When representing UTC:
	iUTC contains the UTC time
	iOffSet is set to 0
	iFlags, bit 0 is set to 1

When representing Local Time:
	iUTC contains the home time minus the TimeZone/DST offset
	iOffSet contains the TimeZone/DST offset 
	iFlags, bit 0 is set to 0

If an instance of this class is created using the default constructor then:
	iUTC is set to 0
	iOffSet is set to 0 
	iFlags, bit 0 is set to 1 (indicating UTC time)
