Clunk Library -	A collection of routines to handle 8-byte clunks. A clunk being
		the number of 100 nano-second time intervals since 17-NOV-1858.
		That date being the Smithsonian Astrophysical Base Date
		(celebrating the day the first photographic plate was exposed
		at the Harvard Smithsonian Observatory). These routines make
		use of the routines in the STRLIB library on account [310,3].
		Two macro routines are included and part of the library.

		Clunks are used as the time/date field by Datatrieve as well as
		time fields in file headers.

ASCCLK		Routine to convert a time/date ascii string to an 8 byte
		CLUNK value. The input string is null terminated and always 18
		bytes long in the following format: hh:mm:ss dd-mmm-yy

CLKASC		Routine to convert an 8 byte CLUNK value to a time/date
		ascii string. The output string is null terminated and always 18
		bytes long in the following format: hh:mm:ss dd-mmm-yy


TIMCLK		Routine to get the current time and return the time/date in the
		8-byte clunk format.
