This has been an interesting exercise and I've discovered that my TS2000i
computer clock has a problem. The AM PM setting can't be changed and is out
of sync. The HH:MM:SS can be changed and increments properly. Thus the
timetominutes(currenttime) doesn't compute properly. Timetominutes(time)
computes properly since it reads the bar time in GS time stamps. The GS is
keyed to the datafeed time. Any suggestions as to why the AM/PM setting is
locked?
