+Description of the VTTIME program, last updated 2/7/78 -- BAK
+
+VTTIME is a program for displaying the current time and/or elapsed time
+since the program was started.  The information is printed and updated
+periodically in the lower right hand corner of the screen.  The program was
+written for VT52 terminals; it may or may not work on other display
+terminals.
+
+To use, simply invoke by "VTTIME^K" or ":VTTIME".  The current time will be
+printed in the lower right corner of the screen, and will be updated every
+10 seconds.
+
+Other options can be invoked via JCL.  If the JCL consists of a number, this
+is interpreted as the number of seconds to wait between updates.  It must be
+a decimal integer containing no periods.  There are two optional switch
+settings that may be specified:
+
+B      (both) Display both time of day and elapsed time.
+E      (elapsed) Display elapsed time only.
+
+Switches are specified using a slash followed by the character in the JCL
+line.
+
+Examples:
+
+:VTTIME
+Displays time of day only and refreshes every 10 seconds.
+
+:VTTIME 5
+Displays time of day only and refreshes every 5 seconds.
+
+:VTTIME 20 /B
+Displays both time of day and elapsed time and refreshes every 20 seconds.
+
+:VTTIME /E
+Displays elapsed time only and refreshes every 10 seconds.
+
+
+If both numbers and a switch setting are to be specified, the number must
+proceed the switch setting.
+
+The program does a :FORGET to DDT and will not appear in the job ring.  To
+reown the job type VTTIMEJ at DDT.  The program will not in general run
+under a non-DDT (due to VALRETting).
