;
; PURPOSE:
;   Compute seconds since Jan 1, 1970 and (Modified) Julian Days
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;   TIMEVAL1 = CMSYSTIME(TIMEVAL0, ...)
;
; DESCRIPTION: 
;
;   CMSYSTIME serves two functions.  It computes the current time in a
;   fashion similar to the built-in IDL system function SYSTIME().  It
;   also can convert between various time representations and systems,
;   including a textual format.
;
;   The current time can be obtained by invoking CMSYSTIME with the
;   /NOW keyword (which is entirely equivalent to SYSTIME(1)).
;
;   The most substantial part of CMSYSTIME, which distinguishes it
;   from SYSTIME, is its ability to convert between different time
;   formats.  CMSYSTIME recognizes can recognize and convert between
;   time in seconds (seconds since Jan 1, 1970 [ = SEC ]) and days
;   (Julian days [ = JDAY ] or "Modified" Julian days [ = MJD = JDAY -
;   2400000.5 ]).  It can also recognize and convert between local and
;   GM time.  
;
;   CMSYSTIME takes maximum care to preserve the full numerical
;   precision of the time values.  It converts all values to double
;   precision and may return days and seconds with fractional parts.
;
;   CMSYSTIME can also represent any time textually, not just the
;   current time.  The following textual formats are supported:
;        DOW MMM DD hh:mm:ss YYYY              - (Default - same as SYSTIME)
;        DOW MMM DD YYYY hh:mm:ss.uuuuuu TTTTT - (/EXTENDED)
;   where DOW and MMM are the abbreviated day of week and month in
;   English, DD is the day of the month, YYYY is the year, hh:mm:ss is
;   the time in 24 hr military time, uuuuuu are additional
;   microseconds, TTTTT is the timezone offset (in +hhmm
;   representation).
;
;   CMSYSTIME accepts one parameter, the input time to be converted.
;   Unlike SYSTIME, the *function* of CMSYSTIME is governed by various
;   keywords, as summarized in the following table:
;
;   Converting from                       Converting to
;   ---------------                       -------------
;   JDAY - /FROM_JULIAN                   JDAY - /JULIAN
;   MJD  - /FROM_MJD                      MJD  - /MJD
;   SEC  - (Default)                      SEC  - /SECONDS
;   Current time - /NOW                   TEXT - (Default or /EXTENDED)
;
;   Local time - /FROM_LOCAL              Local time - /LOCAL
;   GM time - (Default)                   GM time - (Default)
;   
;   If no argument is specified, the default is to report the current
;   time textually in the GM time zone.  CMSYSTIME automatically
;   determines the local time zone.
;
; INPUTS:
;
;   TIMEVAL0 - input time, in seconds or days, as described above.
;              This value is ignored if the NOW keyword is set.  Array
;              values are allowed.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;   NOW - If set, TIMEVAL0 is ignored and the current time is used as
;         input.
;
;   FROM_JULIAN - If set, TIMEVAL0 is in Julian days.
;   FROM_MJD    - If set, TIMEVAL0 is in Modified Julian days (MJD).
;   FROM_LOCAL  - If set, TIMEVAL0 is in the local time zone.
;                 If no FROM_ keywords are set, the input is assumed
;                 to be seconds from Jan 1, 1970.
;
;   JULIAN  - If set, the input is converted to Julian days upon output.
;   MJD     - If set, the input is converted to MJD upon output.
;   SECONDS - If set, the input is converted to seconds from Jan
;             1, 1970 upon output.
;   LOCAL   - If set, the input is converted to the local time zone.
;             If no "destination" keywords are set, the output is
;             converted to textual representation.
;
;   EXTENDED - Convert to a textual representation with additional
;              information, as noted above.
;
;   TIMEZONE - Upon output, the timezone offset is returned in this
;              keyword.  The offset is time difference in seconds
;              between GM time and the local time, such that LOCALTIME
;              = GMTIME + TIMEZONE
;
; RETURNS:
;   The resulting converted time(s), either as a double precision
;   number or a string.
;
; EXAMPLE:
;   
;   The equivalent to SYSTIME(0)
;     IDL> print, systime(0) & print, cmsystime(/now, /local)
;     Wed Jul  5 12:10:46 2000
;     Wed Jul  5 12:10:46 2000
;
;   The equivalent to SYSTIME(1)
;     IDL> print, systime(1) & print, cmsystime(/now,/seconds)
;        9.6277750e+08
;        9.6277750e+08
;
;   Comparison between local and GM time zones (I live in the Eastern
;    US, daylight savings)
;     IDL> print, cmsystime(/now,/extended)
;     Wed Jul  5 2000 16:13:15.659000 -0400
;     IDL> print, cmsystime(/now,/local,/extended)
;     Wed Jul  5 2000 12:13:15.664000 -0400
;    
;   What day of the week was it 200 days ago?  (Note, there are 86400
;    seconds in one day)
;     IDL> today = cmsystime(/now,/seconds)
;     IDL> print, cmsystime(today-86400L*200, /local)
;     Sat Dec 18 12:17:52 1999
