I've got a program which prints out the current time, but when it prints
out the minutes or seconds, there's no 0 padding if the number is in the
range 0 - 9.

print, systime(/JULIAN), $
FORMAT = '(C(CDI, X, CMoA, X, CYI, X, CHI, ":", CMI, ":", CSI))'

This looks good, but just wait until those seconds roll over.

print, systime(/JULIAN), $
FORMAT = '(C(CDI, X, CMoA, X, CYI, X, CHI, ":", CMI, ":", CSI))'

Not so good. How do I change the format to fill that empty space with a
zero? Same goes for minutes when they roll over. Thanks.
