Hour Hand Mod

The hour hand is programmed to always point directly at the current hour. It is my preference. If you would like a traditional moving hour hand that slowly transitions from one hour to another then replace this code

RotHand ((Hour(Now) Mod 12) * 7.98 / 12 - 3.99) + 0.01, HHandhdc, HHandMbmp

with this code

RotHand ((60 * (Hour(Now) Mod 12) + Minute(Now)) * 7.98 / 720 - 3.99) + 0.01, HHandhdc, HHandMbmp

Both versions are now included in the code with the mod REM'd out.
