Handling of time

Generating timepoints

filltime generates vector of time points starting from t with length n and granulation gran (default month). The difference between two timepoints is given by step.
getlocalnow getlocalnow returns the actual date and time with correction for the time zone, daylight savings and so on. The corrections are machine dependend.
getnow getnow returns the actual date and time in Greenwich time.
settime settime generates from a set of vectors a vector of time points. The parameter yr (year) is necessary, the parameters mo (month), dy (day of month), hr (hour), mn (minute), sc (second) are optional. The granulation of the measurement can be changed which the command setgran. Each value in v describes the distance to a fixed point in time (usually 1.1.1900 0:00:00.0). The zero time can be changed with the command setzero. Be careful that you not try to span too much time with a too small granulation !!
settimegran settimegran changes the granulation. Possible values for newgran are 1...7 (Seconds, minutes, hour, days, weeks, month, years)
settimezero settimezero changes the fixed time point.
