Just the other day some Ade Lovett posted qtime.
Unfortunately it had a bug in it (I'll let you discover/come across it).
Here is my version.
I've changed some names and removed the need for a buffer.
Also, it now outputs a single line.
Enjoy!

The latter is an empty string, while the former is an *illegal* string. At best, your system may print "(null)" when you try to print it, at worst it would print garbage or even dump core. -- Amos Shapir amos@taux01.nsc.com or amos@nsc.nsc.com National Semiconductor (Israel) P.O.B. 3007, Herzlia 46104, Israel Tel. +972 52 522261 TWX: 33691, fax: +972-52-558322 34 48 E / 32 10 N (My other cpu is a NS32532)
