TimeString is a Custom Class of the Magic User Interface © by Stefan Stuntz.
It's a subclass of string-class and time-class.

The idea of this class was born during developing my Gregor application.

MUI public custom class that displaying a string gadget for time strings. The
display format of the time string can be freely defined. An input string can be
parsed by the given format string, or in various standard formates (see below).

  midnight on

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This package may not be included on any further Aminet CD-ROMs unless authors
contributing their software to the CD-ROM, (without mentioning distribution
"NoCD") are granted a copy of the CD *completely* *free* *of* *charge*.

The Meeting Pearls IV CD-ROM demonstrates that a Freebie policy is also
possible with "very-low-budget" CD-ROMs (*), so Aminet should quickly
re-establish the same Freebie policy it used up to Aminet CD 13.
