UPTIME: reports the time since the last boot.
The C++ code in the file uptime.cpp was posted in the usenet newsgroup comp.os.os2.utilities by John Allen <john.allen@ie.ibm.com>. It reports the time an OS/2 system has been running since the last boot.

I have compiled the code with BCC++ and made it available as a public download on my web page. This is an update that fixes an error that occured when the time since the last boot was less than 1 hour.
