hmm..just retested it, and got the same results. Further testing shows that the problem is with the actual file name that you're wanting to use.

I seem to recall that similar problems have been reported before with specific filenames not working.

UNC seems to be one of those filenames, as I changed the name from UNC to TIME and it worked. I don't know if there was a reason for using UNC or not.

UNC stands for something, but it elludfes me at this moment, I think its Universal Network C????? something to do with network redirection or file mapping? My head hurts from last night

Universal Naming Convention--As referred to network names, i.e. \\computername.

View its description.

Well there ya go, someone who could have driven me home last night, instead i had to sleep in the car.

/inc [-cszeuN] <%var> [value]
This increases the value of %var by value.

If you specify the -uN switch, %var is increased by the value once and then %var is unset N seconds later, assuming it is not set again by another script.

The -c switch increases %var once per second.

MIRC maybe comfused--drunk, lol

If you have a question about the /inc command, you have to state it for us to know what you're wondering about.
