DIS time converter

[joshserrin]

We provide DisTime to convert System.currentimemillis to dis time but not a conversion back. Ideally, given a pdu time, get the millis since epoch equivalent. Does this library provide that or is anyone aware of the java code that successfully does the conversion?

Hi @joshserrin , it sounds like it could be a useful addition to the DisTime class. Would you like to submit a pull request?

I don't have an implementation right now but if I write one I'll submit a PR. I'm just curious if other have implemented this function already.

A better description of the function would be 'Given a pduTime, convert to the millis since the top of the hour (since pduTimes are only relative to the hour)'.

Suggesting the attachment as an augmentation to ClockTime. It could go in DisTime, but this is where I would have expected it.

@a-keleher sorry for the long delay. Would you be able to submit this as a pull request so that the proposed change can be reviewed?
