! TIME

! NDD   : extraxt dd from ccaammdd
! NMM   : extract mm from ccaammdd
! NAA   : extract aa from ccaammdd
! NCCAA : extract ccaa from ccaammdd
! NAMD  : extract aammdd from ccaammdd
! NCENT : return centuary of ccaammdd
! NYEARC: returns year of the centuary from ccaammdd
! NCONSTRUCT_DATE : returns ccaammdd given centuary,year,month and day
! NCTH  : turn seconds into hours
! RTIME : returns the time of the model (in seconds of course!)
