TimerInit math

[anandchakru]

Hi,

How to calculate, what timerInit() function will return for a future date ? say I wanna know, what the timerInit() will return on (2010-03-10 19:00:00hours) how do I calculate it ?

You don't.

Edit: I guess I better be more clear. You don't because it's extremely stupid to do so. You should not use the value returned from TimerInit() for anything except passing to TimerDiff(). The value returned from TimerInit() does not survive reboots for one thing, so attempting to calculate a future date is only accurate so long as the machine is never restarted.
