[plt-scheme] problem running clock example for FrTime

First, it looks like you copied code from the PDF that contains weird
unicode display glyphs. In general, this will not work in DrScheme,
MzScheme, or any other PL environment.

I'm not sure why match doesn't work, but here is code that does....

(require scheme/match)

(define d (seconds->date seconds))
(define sec (date-second d))
(define min (date-minute d))
(define hr (date-hour d))
(define day (date-day d))
(define mon (date-month d))
(define yr (date-year d))

(define (pad n)
  (if (< n 10)
      (format "0~a" n)
      (number->string n)))

(define clock
  (format "~a:~a:~a ~a-~a-~a"
          hr (pad min) (pad sec)
          day (pad mon) (pad (modulo yr 100))))
