[net.usoft.s] Time Series question

4341mdj (11/19/82)

I have some hourly data that I want to analyze and plot using
the S time series routines.  Unfortunately I can't seem to specify
the start,end & nper to get reasonable values for the series.
The S manual indicates that 'ts' can be used for hourly data by
specifying a start DAY and nper=24.  However I can't see how to
specify a particular date with the current 'ts' algorithm (1982.month).
I can fake it with start=1 and nper=24 but I won't get good values
through 'tsplot' (such as 1am through 12pm).
	Anyone have any experience using the time series routines on
hourly data?
