I personally suggest using "DateTimeToUnix" which is located in unit 
"dateutils". It converts a TDateTime to an Unix timestamp (which is the 
count of milliseconds since 1/1/1970). See also here: 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/dateutils/datetimetounix.html

=== source begin ===

DateTimeToUnix(Now);

=== source end ===
