Convert date and time to a number to chart

[Sarah]

I had a similar need for charting with a time scale, but Ken's chart 
object requires all data to be numeric. I converted all my time stamps 
to seconds format so they could be drawn correctly and then edited the 
chart script so that when displaying the tick marks on the time axis, it 
converts the relevant time stamps back to my preferred date format for 
display purposes only.
