I justed ported the www.uptimes.net client software to OS/2.
www.uptimes.net is a web page where you can compare your system
uptimes with that of other people around the world. Currently we have
6 hosts setup on the system, with a maximum uptime of 13 days. Lets
see if we can give some of those other systems a run for the money.

Also, I am using QSV_MS_COUNT to keep track of the uptime. If I 
remember correctly this has a limit of 49 days like Windows does. If
there is anyone who knows of a better way of telling the system
uptime let me know.

The only other solution I know of is to use the time and date on the
swapfile. I don't like this method for several reasons:

A) not all systems have swap files
B) this method is not entirely accurate. Please let me know if you
have a solution to the problem. And lets at least beat the windows
uptimes! :)

The client is on hobbes:

It will presumably move to:
