SYSUTILS64, UPTIME?

[vefatica]

Would some please tell me whether SYSUTILS64's UPTIME works.

UPTIME uses an undocumented API which been around for ages but which always had the caveat that its continued existence was not guaranteed.

Yup!

Thanks! That's good to know. Windows 8 anyone?

Thanks, TEA-Time. You're on the cutting edge!

I read the necessary function was missing from x64, specifically from Win8. But I could find only very few such comments and I wondered if it was really true.

No problem!

Eh, that Windows 8.1 box is basically just for messing around, so it was perfect for this. It would drive me too nUtZ trying to use that abomination on any consistent basis. Heh
