Here's the one I wrote as a result of this thread.  It does work,
feel free to finger me (kaleb@nutmeg.jpl.nasa.gov) if you doubt my
word.

It may not be the epitome of efficiency, so I'll gladly take tips
on making it better.

#include <time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

main ()

{

    int     planfile;
    int     number = 0;
    time_t  tim;
    char    *planmessage = "You are the %d%s person to finger me\nat the tone, the time will be %s\n"; 
    char    target[256];
    char    *consmessage = "you have been fingered\n";
    char    *index2;

    for (;;) {

        planfile = open (".plan", O_WRONLY );

        time (&tim);
        switch (number % 10) {
            case 1: index2 = "st"; break;
            case 2: index2 = "nd"; break;
            case 3: index2 = "rd"; break;
            default: index2 = "th"; break;
        }
        sprintf (target,planmessage, number++, index2, asctime (localtime (&tim)));
        write (planfile, target, strlen (target));

        write (1, consmessage, strlen (consmessage));
        close (planfile);

        sleep (1);

    }
}
