·        Command help:

 

To use the /datecalc command, you must specify the year, month, day, hour, minute,

Seconds.

You must specify them in that particular order, to get the proper results.

 

Additionally, you must specify your date and time in the following format:

 

yyyy/mm/dd@HH:mm:ss

 

If you don’t do so, the script will fail to calculate proper dates.

 

You can also specify one of the following arguments for Year:

Use the developer’s options (requires SDev 1)

These are all case sensitive

 

1             Disabled for external use.

2             Disabled for external use; unsupported and experimental; may work, may not work.

 

Important note: you must not specify 24:00:00 as time. You can use 23:59:59 (which

gives you a good approximation), but for some reason, the script will see huge values

for “Day” if you specify 24:00:00.

 

Furthermore, you can use the commands internally, using “/”, but also externally, using “!”.

Internal and external commands work exactly the same.

 

Since version 2.95 there is an external commands helper. Type “!datecalc” to show it. It works

about the same as Plus!’s standard command helper. It is not yet completely bugfree,

but it works ;)

 

Developers have some extras (like debugging etc.), so if anything doesn’t work,

They may use their extras to send me some information to solve the problem :) .

 

·        Window help:

 

You can also use the script’s window to specify a date.

 

To do this, simply click the Scripts-button (either in your contact list, or in the chat

window), look for “Date Calculator” and click “Specify a date to calculate”.
