If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "ULID was not valid.") & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' You can now get the date/time in any desired format.
' For example:
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Unix timestamp = " & dt.GetAsUnixTime(bLocal)) & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "RFC822 = " & dt.GetAsRfc822(bLocal)) & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Timestamp = " & dt.GetAsTimestamp(bLocal)) & "</pre>"

' Sample output:

' Unix timestamp = 1675608861
' RFC822 = Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:54:21 GMT
' Timestamp = 2023-02-05T14:54:21Z
