I was discussing how the conflicting statements in the documentation
might lead one to conclude that hours are coded in a 1-based series
(1-24), requiring adjustment to produce the actual hours (0-23). Based
on that reasoning, the output of the test program I provided seemed to
be incorrect.

Based on new input (thanks Erik and John), I now see that localtime
hours are indeed 0..23, and in need of no conversion to produce hours
in military time. My apologies for any confusion!
