How to disable Day Light Saving Change with GMT-5 TimeZone ?

Hi,

I want to use a Calendar object for date manipulation, but I want

to disabled DST, because it adds and removes 1 hour depending

on the calculation.

I took a look at severals books but without success. I found a solution at

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/gotchas.html#DATE , but it uses UTC TimeZone

which is innapropriate in my case. I must use date with the GMT-5 TimeZone

I want to know if there's a way to disable DST for the GMT-5 TimeZone ?

Thanks in advance ?
