I want to get the timezone bias, and I've located it in the registry here:
Code:
@regread(LOCAL,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation,ActiveTimeBias)


So far, so good! Now, on my XP/W2K systems this key returns -120; fine, that's a bias of
minus 120 minutes.

On my W98 system, however, it returns 136|255|255|255. So how do I handle this W98 value?

Try this - i think that it is correct
Code:

%a = @regread(the registry you want)
parse "%1;%2;%3;%4",%a
%a = @sum(@sum(@sum(%1,@prod(256,%2)),@prod(65536,%3)),@prod(16777216,%4))

this should convert the registry value to the equivalent integer value.

Yeah, that works. Thanks.

Tricky one, I must say.
