function t=getdt97(x)
%
% t=getdt97(x):
% Function to get a date (in hours) using 1995 January as 0 point.
%
% Input-
%	x- matrix x(n,4) representing the date for each value, where
%		 x(:,1) is the year (YY), x(:,2) is the month (MM),
%		 x(:,3) is the day (DD), x(:,3) is the hour (HH)
% Output-
%	t- vector representing the date (in hours) for each value
%
% Note-
% Example: x=[95,1,0,1]; t=getdt97(x); t returned is 0.
