<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I asked a question a few days ago whether or not
anybody has made an object which provides "DateDiff" functionality. I realize
that DateDiff is a Visual Basic function....so I'm back to this list asking
whether anybody has made an object which provides "difftime"
functionality.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"difftime()" is a C++ function which serves a
similar purpose.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I'd like to do is compare two dates (via the
zexy [date] and [time] objects) and return the number of seconds or milliseconds
between those dates. For example, difftime("12/10/1999 10:20:21
AM","12/10/2003 10:32:21 AM") = ? seconds</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I have limited experience with writing and compiling C++, and no experience
writing PD externals. I'd appreciate any help I can get.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks.</FONT></DIV>
