This is part of the Script Manager 2.0. The interim chapter was on apple.com
some time ago, but you will have to look and see if it is still there. Anyway,
you call:

ReadLocation(&myLocation);

where myLocation is a:

struct MachineLocation {
	Fract latitude;
	Fract longitude;
	union {
		char dlsDelta;
		long gmtDelta;
	} gmtFlags;
};

For use of the gmtFlags, see the documentation.
