RE: [Help-glpk] Time conversion functions

Hello Marc

>>Can you add a DayOfWeek(t) which returns a number 0 to 6, with 0=Sunday,
>>1=Monday, etc.

ISO 8601 defines a week date see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date 
Sunday has to be 7 to comply with ISO 8601 and to allow correct sorting.

Calculating with seconds instead of days is not more difficult but avoids
rounding errors. Anyway the SI unit of time is seconds.

Best regards
