[arm-allstar] Proposed day/time formatting change --was: Bug fix update!

[David McGough]

Hi Doug,

Yes, the format you describe is the way output is currently formatted, 
and I agree that milliseconds in this case aren't needed.

I think your proposed day:hour:minute:second format is much more 
practical, and easy enough to implement in the app_rpt source code.

Thoughts?
