About td:
I got tired of constantly having to look at my watch to type in the time
for my ShadowTK T/D stamps, so I wrote this shell script which appends the
standard-format T/D stamp to a file.

Feel free to distribute as much as you want, but please leave the two
credit lines intact. Thanks.

Installation Instructions:
Copy the lines out and cut on the dotted lines. =) Put them into a file
called "td" (no quotes) and type the following line:

chmod 700 td

And press return. The program is installed, but you have to be in the
directory you installed it in to use it.

How to Use:
Type "td <user-name> <file-name>" where <user-name> is
your character's
alias and <file-name> is the file you want to append the T/D stamp to.
At this point, td only supports single-word aliases. For example: I
play a character called "Fubar" and want to append his T/D stamp to a
file called "shadowtalk-letter":

td Fubar shadowtalk-letter

Problems:
Send em to me at solstice@****.edu

checkargs:
if ($#argv == 2) goto stamp
echo "Usage: td <user-name> <file-name>"
exit

stamp:
set user = $argv[1]
set file = $argv[2]
set date = "`date +%D`"
set time = "`date +%T`"
echo " -- "$user"
<"$time"/"$date">" >> $file
echo "Appended."
