[amibroker] now(5) -> some explanation please

["murthysuresh" <money@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to compare timestamps and am considering this now(5) 
because it has both the date and the time. how can someone explain the 
breakdown of how the date and time is structured into this number.
format = 5 - returns DATETIME number with current date/time 

I tried to print it and got this big number. 
397004185126510430000000000.000

today is 8 oct 07 and approx 12:40 pm. where do i find those info from 
big number to relate to.
