R help - Mar 2011 - Create a zoo/xts Time Series with Millisecond jumps

Is there a easy way to create the time index for a zoo/xts object for every
100 milliseconds.

eg.  time Index would be:

10:00:00:100
10:00:00:200
10:00:00:300
10:00:00:400

I am looking to build an empty zoo/xts object with time index from 10am to
3pm, index jumps by 100ms each row.

Thanks,
Chris

Here are three ways.  as.xts(z2) could be used to turn the second one into xts.

library(zoo)
library(chron)
len <- 5 * 60 * 60 * 10 + 1

# use chron times class

z1 <- zoo(, seq(times("10:00:00"), times("15:00:00"),
length = len))

# use POSIXct times

z2 <- zoo(, seq(as.POSIXct("2011-01-01 10:00:00"),
	as.POSIXct("2011-01-01 15:00:00"), length = len))

# number intervals from 1 to len

z3 <- zoo(, seq_len(len))
