UTC Time format

[Alejandro Ochoa]

Does anyone know how to convert a date/time in the UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) format?

Any help would be REALLY apreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I already checked that page, and could get a little help.

What I need to do is develop an algorithm to convert UTC format to date format.

Is something like this:

878159351 represents the date in number of seconds elapsed since 1/1/1970 12:01 AM, so the date would be 10/29/1997 1:09:11 PM.

I checked Windows API functions and it uses a diferent format (seconds elapsed since 1/1/1601).

If anyone knows of an existing function or pointers on how to achieve this I'd really apreciate it.

Thanks.

Alejandro.
