Thanks for this, I have added it in CVS. You find it online
now as proposed.

Yes, done. I also added the cross-ref to the ASCII formats page.

I have borrowed the code from s.in.shape to write the timestamp,
put I got lost with strings/pointers, so you find this code
commented in s.proj. At time (CVS version) the "desc" is not
written any more. If someone could check the s.proj/main.c - 
will be easy to finish that for a strings/sites expert (hi Eric :-)

I don't know, but I think it will be working in s.in.shape. Please note
that from a C standpoint the implementation in s.in.shape and s.proj
slightly differ (some pointers stuff).
