I doubt that a timestamp would be much use, since no existing software
takes advantage of it, and C has no contruct for reading it.

I recommend that standard vt100 character sequences be sent, instead
of IBMPC sequences.  That way the same handling can be applied to
external devices as the console.  -David-
