[RESOLVED] VB6 Implementation Of asctime()???

[Xiphias3]

OK, ive been doing some work with IRC and i need some help.
The command with the numeric code 333 is sent to inform the client who and when the topic was set.

Format: 333 <channel> <nickname> <time>
Example: 333 #boredom IAmBored 902508764

Parameters:
<channel> A channel name.
<nickname> User who last set the channel topic.
<time> The time the user set the current channel topic

Notes:
Use $asctime() to convert 'time' to a readable value.

I want to convert the time value to something 'readable'. Everywhere i look, people just use asctime(), which makes sense. My question is, does anyone known how to implement asctime() is VB6, or just an explanation on how-to, since writing code yourself is more beneficial or something that fulfills my needs?

Any replies will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

First and foremost WOW!
This turned out to be more complicated than I thought.

It seems I have found the answer in a module named modTime in the sIRC project by vcv located on planetsourcecode.com (http://planetsourcecode.com/vb/scrip...32554&lngWId=1).
However, real credit seems to go to "Jason" on PSC as this was at the top of the module:

'* This module is composed of functions
'* off of planet-source-code given to me
'* by a person going under the name of 'Jason'
'* and I thank him for it.

Here's the function i was interested in:

Function AscTime(CTime As Long) As Date
    AscTime = CDate(#1/1/1970# - GetGMTBias / 60 / _
    24) + (CTime / 3600& / 24)
End Function

Hopefully ill be able to figure this out!
