Landon Curt Noll cf419fb329 Added several conversion funcions, plus minor updates
Added several conversion functions:

    Added builtin functions to convert between degrees and
    degrees, minutes and seconds under the config("mod")
    round rules:

	d2dms(degs, d, m, s [,rnd]) - given degs, compute d, m, s
	d2dm(degs, d, m [,rnd]) - given degs, compute d, m

	See help/d2dms and help/d2dm.

    Example:

	; print d2dms(360.321,deg=,min=,sec=), deg, min, sec;
	0.321 0 19 15.6

	; print d2dm(360.321,deg=,min=), deg, min;
	0.321 0 19.26

    Added builtin functions to convert between gradians and
    gradians, minutes and seconds under the config("mod")
    round rules:

	g2gms(grads, g, m, s [,rnd]) - given grads, compute g, m, s
	g2gm(grads, g, m [,rnd]) - given grads, compute g, m

	See help/g2gms and help/g2gm.

    Example:

	; print g2gms(400.321,grad=,min=,sec=), grad, min, sec;
	0.321 0 19 15.6

	; print g2gm(400.321,grad=,min=), grad, min;
	0.321 0 19.26

    Added builtin functions to convert between hours and
    hours, minutes and seconds under the config("mod")
    round rules:

	h2hms(hours, h, m, s [,rnd]) - given hours, compute h, m, s
	h2hm(hours, h, m [,rnd]) - given hours, compute h, m

	See help/h2hms and help/h2hm.

    Example:

	; print h2hms(24.321,hour=,min=,sec=), hour, min, sec;
	0.321 0 19 15.6

	; print h2hm(24.321,hour=,min=), hour, min;
	0.321 0 19.26

In addtion:

    Renumbered regression tests 3408 thru 3437, to 9102 thru 9131.

    Updated Added hms.cal resource file to use h2hms() builtin.
    Updated Added dms.cal resource file to use d2dms() builtin.

    Fix minor typo in help/mod SYNOPSIS.
    Fix minor typo in help/quo SYNOPSIS.

    Added a few more examples to help/strcmp.

NAME
g2gm - convert gradians into gradians, and minutes
SYNOPSIS
g2gm(grads, g, m [,rnd])
TYPES
grads real
g null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission
m null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission
rnd nonnegative integer, defaults to config("mod")
return mod(grads, 400, rnd)
DESCRIPTION
Convert grads gradians into g gradians, and m minutes.
The return value is a normalized number of gradians, and is equivalent
to the following:
return_value = mod(grads, 400, rnd);
The argument rnd, if not given, defaults to config("mod").
For more information on the effects of rnd, see "help mod".
Depending on the rounding mode, the return could be a real value
in the interval [0, 400) or a real value in the interval (-400, 0].
For the default round mode, the return value is in the interval [0, 400).
The g argument will be an integer number of gradians.
The value g will be set as if the following were used:
g = int(return_value);
For some rounding modes, g will be an integer in the interval [0, 400).
For other rounding modes, g will be an integer in the interval (-400, 0].
For the default round mode, g is in the interval [0, 400).
The m argument will be a real number of minutes.
The value m will be set as if the following were used:
tmp = return_value - g;
m = tmp * 60;
free(tmp);
For some rounding modes, m will be a real value in the interval [0, 60).
For other rounding modes, m will be a real value in the interval (-60, 0].
For the default round mode, m will be in the interval [0, 60).
The following shows relationship between the return value and the resulting
g, and m values:
return_value == g + m/60;
EXAMPLE
/* if args are undefined, pre-declare them or assign them as args */
; global g, m;
; print g2gm(12.3456,g,m), g, m;
12.3456 12 20.736
; print g2gm(1234.5678,g,m), g, m;
34.5678 34 34.068
; print g2gm(-1234.5678,g,m), g, m;
365.4322 365 25.932
; print g2gm(654.321,grad=,min=), grad, min;
254.321 254 19.26
; print g2gm(-654.321,grad=,min=), grad, min;
145.679 145 40.74
; print g2gm(400.321,grad=,min=), grad, min;
0.321 0 19.26
/* certain non-default rounding modes can return negative values */
; print g2gm(654.321,grad=,min=,1), grad, min;
-145.679 -145 -40.74
; print g2gm(-654.321,grad=,min=,1), grad, min;
-254.321 -254 -19.26
; print g2gm(400.321,grad=,min=,1), grad, min;
