new CTAN package: uhrzeit

A new package, a LaTeX style uhrzeit.sty, has been installed on
tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring
process in the next day or two.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: uhrzeit.sty
Name: Olaf Meltzer
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/uhrzeit
Summary description: Time of day and ranges of time. German and international formats.
License type: LaTeX Project

Announcement text:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Various layouts for automatic timestamps in german and international formats. Ancient formatted time of
day and ranges of time (minutes superscripted and underlined).

Mitunter ist es hilfreich, aktuelle Zeitmarken automatisch setzen zu lassen. Für diesen Zweck stellt
uhrzeit.sty verschiedene deutsche und international gebräuchliche Formate zur Verfügung.
Außerdem wird das Setzen von Uhrzeiten und Zeitbereichen im älteren Format (mit hochgestellten,
unterstrichenen Minuten) unterstützt.
