Since you are in a different timezone, mIRC adds/subtracts hours to $asctime to make up the difference. You can however use the $gmt function the same as $asctime, and it wont adjust for timezone / daylight savings... however years/months/days are still just as useless for durations. - Raccoon Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
