Hi, was trying to look for some information on Global Timers, and have a couple of questions.

(1) Is it true that the IE uses a "system clock" to control events:

eg. when a SetGlobalTimer("VARIABLE", "GLOBAL", ONE_DAY) is used,
basically we are setting VARIABLE = CurrentTime + ONE_DAY

So the event occurs only when the system clock = VARIABLE?

(2) May I know the time unit conversion factor in long-integer?

Eg. for SetGlobalTimer("ABC","GLOBAL",151500) - how long is 151500?
Or, perhaps its easier to answer by asking how long is ONE_DAY in integers?

Many thanks in advance
