It worked! Ha!
I would like to be able to extract only decimal hours from the date
string
"2007-05-05 14:30". Is this possible? I can easily do it by
grabbing
the minutes form and dividing by 60 in calc. Of course, a more
direct
approach would be helpful.
I might offer that calc seems to have improved a great deal over the
past
12 or 13 years. Also, the computer I am using is far and away faster
and more
powerful.
I am now struggling with how to set the time zone variable. I guess I
can
use Sydney time, or GMT-10?
The calc manual says:
"f your system does not have a suitable `date' command, you may
wish to put a `(setq var-TimeZone ...)' in your Emacs
initialization file to set the time"
This variable is undocumented in emacs 23.0.0 (Gentoo GNU/Linux).
Thank you for the rapid response!
