TIME$ 

The TIME$ function returns the current system time.  The TIME$ function

TIME$(0)

returns the time in the NATIVE-3000 format which is "hh.mm AP" where hh
is in 12-hour format and AP is either AM or PM. TIME$ and TIME$(0) are
not the same.  TIME$(8) returns the time in the German format "hh.mm"
where hh is in 24-hour format.
