date/time conversion problems

hi,

i'm having problems playing with system time in a program that i'm working on. I've worked out how to get the system time:



When I output that i know that i've got the "number of seconds elapsed since some implementation-specific base time." as stated on this site:
http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/datetimedisc.asp This site is good in that it explains alot about the time, but i'm a bit how to convert it to what I want.

I'd like to be able to convert that time into something that I can actually use as a date. What I'm trying to do is get the current date (day, month and year) and use that for some other operations in my program.

Thanks in advance for any help,
niobi

As far as I know time returns the time of day as per the system time and therefore does not give you any date information. I'm sure there is a similar function 'date' or something like that if you have a hunt around which tells you what day etc.
