Updating time in the String format

To run this test case, evaluate the following:

DdeTimeServer2 new.

This creates a server as in Updating time and date, but only the current time in the 'String' format is supported. The client from Updating time and date does not work with this server. Instead, use Microsoft Excel by entering into a cell:

= Timer|Time!time

The current time appears in the cell. It is in a floating point format but can be changed by choosing Format/Number from the menu.
