The problem seems to be in those cases where my program has
computed an average time for the month and used that were
there was no time in the original data.
I think if you look at the text file in notepad or something you'll
see the date. Apparently excel is not able to deal with seconds
or fractions thereof and shows you nothing. The database won't
have that problem, although RAINGAUGES.RGspan is an integral number
of seconds.
(I just added a caution regarding rounding to the RGspan docs.)
