Thanks.  I missed that.

I'm trying to get a timestamp in milliseconds so that two stamps within 
a second of each other get different values.  Unfortunately, there's no 
way to specify milliseconds on %diff, so I'm kind of stuck, unless I 
want to use a closer date.  01/01/1970 happens to be something of a 
standard.  This is a tough limitation to work around.
