hi hi

ive been keeping track of my uptime with a simple identifier using $ticks which was thought to be fixed and figured that unfortunately it is still not working.

uptime has jumped from 49 to approx. 160 days; i dont remember the exact duration since it happened last week and i forgot! i guess it's probably some power of 2 ms.

I hear this is something with windows,
What ever the ticks are held in seems to be 32 bits and it will wrap around when the ticks have filled up that variable.

//echo -a $duration($calc((2^32)/1000))
is about when this will happen.
I've never had my computer turned on for that long, so I've never seen it happen.

yea right its windows, but there should have been a workaround, see versions.txt
