**CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 4 (Variables): hour**
===== Hour -- Integer pseudo-variable containing current hour and minute =====
**usage: dest = hour**

HOUR is a number variable containing the hour and minute portions of the
current time.  This variable is read-only.  The value is set at the moment
it is read.  HOUR is set as the hour (using a 24 hour clock) plus the
current minute divided by 100.

Examples:
        At 12:10 am,     HOUR =  0.10
        At  9:01 am,     HOUR =  9.01
        At 11:41 pm,     HOUR = 23.41
   At 5:25 pm on October 13th, 1992, the CIGAL command:
        ftype '%5/2f/%2d  %5:2f:%5.2f\n' day year-1900 hour secs
   would print as:
        10/13/92  17:25:00.00
