Function: string Unix2GMTorBST(integer unixtime);
Convert a Unix time (time in seconds since 01-01-1970) to a date in the form Day-of-week + YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM + GMT or BST
Day-of-week will be a 3-letter day, and the string ends with "GMT" or "BST" as appropriate, with correct 1-hour adjustment for BST
e.g. Wed 2013-12-25 06:48 GMT
| • integer | unixtime | – | a point in time represented by the number of seconds since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC, e.g. a value returned by llGetUnixTime() |
