'  Once we have the CkDateTime object, we can get the date/time in many different formats:

'  (remember, the daylight savings that existed at the given time in the past is applied)
bLocalTime = 1
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( dtTime.GetAsRfc822(bLocalTime)) & "</pre>"

'  Get as a 32-bit UNIX time (local or GMT..)
'  The Unix time is number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). 
unixTime = dtTime.GetAsUnixTime(bLocalTime)
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Unix time: " & unixTime) & "</pre>"

'  One can also get the as a "DtObj" object for accessing the individual
'  parts of the date/time, such as month, day, year, hour, minute, etc.
'  The DtObj can be obtained in the GMT or local timezone:
set dtObj = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.DtObj")
