If you can find a port of GNU "date" for Win*, I would personally install that. It should be as easy as that, and it will work it's way into a script very nicely:
Code:
...
ASSIGNED="02/01/2002 10:13:17 AM"
CASSIGNED=$(date --date="$ASSIGNED" +%s)

print $CASSIGNED
...

Would it be possible to install "date"?
