Couple months ago I threw this together because I was sick of the way that ASP handles dates, it was always a pain to have to re-format the date output manualy everytime I didn't want to use the formatdatetime function because it didnt support the style of output that I wanted. The function is based off of a function that I found from the 4guysfromrolla site, then I re-worked the whole thing and improved it more and added timezone support as well. Just figured I would share the function with the general public. For those of you that know php, its very similar to the date() function in php, only slightly more enhanced.
