Subject: Re: time equivalent for windows (was: [OT]- [SOLUTION] Word Chains (#44) - time equivalent for windows)

Just the other day I needed 'time' for windows, and wrote a 3 line
ruby script I called 'rtime' Really trivial stuff.

start_time = Time.now
system ARGV.join(" ")
$stderr.puts "#{Time.now - start_time} seconds"

Of course, it just gives you the real time it took, nothing about user
time, etc. The main point is how very easy it was.
