Re: [ferret_users] Time tics every year

["William S. Kessler" <william.s.kessler@xxxxxxxx>]

Ah, that's the famous TXTYPE command. You can read the documentation  
and try to figure it out. I can't. I just do trial and error every  
time. (In fairness to Ferret, this is inherited stuff from PPLUS).

TXTYPE,TYPE,STYLE  ! type=days,mon,yr(def); style=hr,hrday/day,daymon/ 
mon1,mon3,monyr
