hi,
didn't know there was now_diff/2 ;-) i used sth like

StartTime = now(),
StopTime = breakCipher(EnCipher, FirstKey, IVec, Text),    %%%   returns 
now() when keypair is found

    {StartVekA,StartVekB,StartVekC} = StartTime,
    {StopVekA,StopVekB,StopVekC} = StopTime,
    ResVekC = StopVekC - StartVekC,
    ResVekB = StopVekB - StartVekB,
    ResVekA = StopVekA - StartVekA,
    if
        ResVekC < 0 ->
            ResVekCNew = ResVekC + 1000000,
            ResVekBNew = ResVekB - 1;
        true ->
            ResVekCNew = ResVekC,
            ResVekBNew = ResVekB
    end,
    if
        ResVekBNew < 0 ->
            ResVekBNewNew = ResVekBNew + 1000000,
            ResVekANew = ResVekA - 1;
        true ->
            ResVekBNewNew = ResVekBNew,
            ResVekANew = ResVekA
    end,
    ResultTime = {ResVekANew,ResVekBNewNew,ResVekCNew},
    ResultTime.

this should work.
kind regards
