Hey,

I wish to use the $time identifier within some of my scripts; only I found it to be one hour slow - even though my system clock is set at the right time. I believe this error has something to do with daylight saving (which our region is currently experiencing.) Since the buffer timestamping is also based upon the $asctime or $time identity, its also one hour slow. Is there any way to rectify this?

I've tried manually compensating for the flaw by setting up the script to add on an hour during daylight saving periods; however I am led to believe that this has created more problems with dates not rolling over when they should... and I'm really too lazy to go and fix all that up.

Instead of using mIRC's internal identifiers for time referencing, I thought of creating an external DLL - is this possible using Visual Basic 6.0? (I've only seen people write tutorials using C++ - unfortunately I do not own a copy of this)

Any help would be greatly appreciated
