The config command in the following example makes use of two of those special time values:
<!--#config timefmt="%D %r" -->
The file address.html was last modified on: 
        <!--#flastmod file="address.html"-->.
where %D specifies that the date appear in "mm/dd/yy" format, and %r specifies that the time appear as "hh/mm/ss AM|PM".
Thus the previous example produces output such as:
The file address.html was last modified on: 12/23/95 07:17:39 PM
