 __UNPACKTIME
 unpack a Time formatted number to a time string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Function:
 __UNPACKTIME:FAR

 Description:
 This function takes a numeric value in AX (see __PACKTIME), and
 returns a var of the form HH:MM:SS in DX:AX. It's the complement
 of _PACKTIME.

 Example:
 if you would want a function, let's say Dos2Time() that converts a
 Numeric DOS Time var to a Clipper Time string, you could do as follow:

 Dos2Time(nVar) --> cTime

 mov    ax,1
 push   ax
 call   __PARNI
 add    sp,2
 call   __UNPACKTIME
 push   dx
 push   ax
 call   __RETC
 add    sp,4
 ret

 Note that XPunpackTime() does it slightly differently.
