What time is it?

What is the best way to get the time stored into a variable? In particular, I am looking for a way to get the number of seconds past the minute stored into an integer variable. Thank you, Eric Slater

SYSTEMTIME sysTime;
GetLocalTime(&sysTime);
// seconds past the minute
word Seconds = sysTime.wSecond;

CTime t = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
int Seconds = t.GetSecond();
