After the LZX archiver by Data Compression Technologies was released, a
friend of mine phoned me and asked if I know of a tool that can be used to
measure the precise execution time of shell commands. As I didn't know of
such a beast, I decided to write one myself, although I'm quite certain
that there are numerous similar tools out there, somewhere. Anyway, here's
what to do:

       instead of      1> foo opt1 opt2 opt3
       simply type     1> TimeCmd foo opt1 opt2 opt3

   You'll see the output of 'foo' in the shell window, followed by a line
of text like "» 4.489200 seconds". Guess what that stands for. :) TimeCmd
uses the timer.device for maximum accuracy, but as this is a multitasking
OS, the results will probably vary. Run TimeCmd several times if you want
to make sure that the measured time interval is as accurate as possible.
