powershell and utc time aka greenwich london uk

[herge]

Hi DednDave:

Yes ir did it took me a long time to find it
I just wanted a listing of a file.
I think they changed all the rules
for powershell.
They was dir /p (dos)which more or less
paused the output.

 Hi DednDave:

Code Select Expand



C:\Documents and Settings\User>copy c:masm32\showtim.asm | more con
Cannot access file \\.\con

C:\Documents and Settings\User>


It also eats memory like a pig do not try on very large files
you get an out of memory error i e windows.inc
The more is not working I never had to hit space bar
once. It stops listing when it runs out and you can
not scroll up to start of file.
The

works for me.

It has not got pass 12 am yet so I am not
100% sure it works yet. But is compiled great.
It does work in the afternoon.
Used Google translate to germanize the title
hope it's clean.

Hi Rubber Duck Fans:

By popular demand well just me.
Warning this program uses a kludge i e we cheat.
We get UTC time aka GMT or London England time.
Then we add one to hour to get GMT + 1.
I do not recommend running this program @ 23:00 or 11 PM CET i e German Time.

Hi DednDav:

I am sure sure there is an easier way.
But for now it goes.

Thanks for the ideas.

[dedndave]

of course - you could use the right Locale Identifier

Hi DednDave:

Tossed first example in qeditor.
Compiled and tosed it to WinDbg.

Herge Says All Right!
Thanks DednDave.

[dedndave]

the second one is a little better, i think   :t
should be 2 bytes shorter

 Hi DednDave:

The LCID for germany is 1031 decimal that's why
we get nice German names.

A site to look up your LCID @ MicroSoft.

 Hi Rubber Duck & UTC & GMT & Zulu Fans:

We got all that. To check your computer date and time the
folks in Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA have a site @ NRC.
I will let people @NRC explain NRC.

For America try NIST.

i used to visit CHU at 7.335 mHz (they broadcast on a couple other frequencies, as well)
a few years ago, they expanded the international broadcast band in ITU regions 1 and 3
CHU experienced some interference, so they moved to 7.85 mHz or something like that

here in the US, we have WWV (and WWVL, WWVB)
they broadcast at several frequencies, most notably 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 mHz
WWVL is at 20 kHz and WWVB is at 60 kHz

you can see what CHU sounds like, here...

Hi DednDave:

We are going to the dogs.
Breaker one nine oh the good
old CB radios before portable telephones.
There use to be size of a lunch box. Now
about the size of a pack of fags(smokes, cigarettes).

[dedndave]

heathkit used to make one we called the "lunchbox"   :P
they made them for 3 different ham bands and one for cb, too
back then, probably the cheapest way to get on the air
