[Radiance-general] Gensky Time format

Hi Brajesh,

Gensky doesn't take HH:MM:SS format, but you can specify any number of  
digits using the alternative decimal hours.  I.e., 10:27:30 translates  
to:

	10 + 27/60 + 30/3600 => 10.458333

% gensky 10 13 10.458333 +s -a 57.01305 -o -9.988333

Be aware that gensky doesn't have the more sophisticated orbital  
corrections, etc. that would permit it to predict the solar position  
with this kind of accuracy.

Best,
-Greg
