With the recent announcement of FAST being empowered by FreeDOS, and the
interest on porting some UNIX utilities to DOS, I decided to combine both.
Since current UPTIME v7.02 by Mark Aitchison is written in Turbo Pascal, I
tried to do an approach in fast. It is still WIP, and not yet as complete
as the other, but it is a mere COM file of 1.077 bytes, while the current
version is 49.746.

What I like of my approach, is storing initial startup time on the CMOS,
using the unused alarm records, which is by far more efficient than storing
a file.

Hope you like the idea. Next steps will be parsing the command-line to
allow output in different formats, and try to mimic format such as:
08:11:22 up 146 days, 34 min, 3 users, load average: 0.28, 0.45, 0.38

Once more complete, I will upload to my Sourceforge page:
