you are probably trying to use [clock] erroneously; post a log

clock error with tcl 8.5a3

2005-08-27T09:37:04-04:00

as i wrote, the eggdrop is linked with the new tcl. .status says:
Tcl library: /tcl8.5a3/library
Tcl version: 8.5a3 (header version 8.5a3)

The easiest way of finding th older date is to convert them both into unixtime (clock scan) and see which one is smaller.

this was my idea too but the clock command isnt working. also i cant use the .tcl in partyline. it says "what? you need `.help`"

edit:
i fixed my .tcl error... unbind tcl was still active

also, if you really need your bot to use the newly installed Tcl, you must recompile the bot, making sure it links against the new library (use configure switches or TCLINC/TCLLIB environment variables)

Make sure the eggdrop isnt using the older version of tcl, a .status on partyline should say.

i need for my script the new clock command from tcl 8.5, so i dl tcl8.5.a3 and installed it (eggdrop reconfig and reinstalled too, successfully linked with new tcl).
my eggy always keep saying that clock is an invalid command. but in tclsh i can use it with no error. i also tried to load clock.tcl (shipped with tcl8.5a3) with my eggdrop but it keeps saying, clock is invalid.

does someone knows a solution for this or perhaps a function to compare 2 dates and tell which one is "older"?
