IG| Being a programmer, I tend to aspire toward maximum efficiency in
  | my programs, so I'd like to know if anyone has a more efficient
  | way to do the following:
You can avoid the converting the time to a string by using the 'thour'
function.  Here's the startup script I used for years in Telix for
DOS, which demonstrates this... it silences the modem during certain
hours:
//  Telix startup script
main()
{
  if (not carrier())
  if (thour(curtime()) > 21  or  thour(curtime()) < 11)
    cputs("AT L1^M");
  set_defprot('Z');
  dial();
}
