Here's the alias to show how long a windows NT/2000 based system has been install for. As far as i know this does'nt work in 9x/ME. Remember to change the drive letter, to the drive you have windows NT/2k installed on. --- alias osinstall { say 2Windows 2000 has been installed for [ $+ $duration($calc($ctime - $file(c:\WINNT\inf\machine.PNF).mtime)) $+ ] } ---
