Answer 1

In javascript, at least, unix timestamps are milliseconds, and I found a case where I needed them. This code makes use of .Net using 10,000 ticks / millisecond. Here's the code I used:

Public Module UnixTime
    Const UnixEraStartTicks As Long = 621355968000000000
     Public Function UnixTimestamp(value As Date) As Long
        Dim UnixEraTicks = value.Ticks - UnixEraStartTicks
        Return UnixEraTicks \ 10000
    End Function
    Public Function DateFromUnix(timestamp As Long) As Date
        Return New Date(UnixEraStartTicks + timestamp * 10000)
    End Function
End Module
