+# A crude script to prepend clock times to each line of input
+# Usage Scenario:  You've prepared an atmsBatchEvents.txt file
+#   with times for an actual scenario, and you want to try it
+#   out in the simulator without having to wait for hours.
+#   Run this script, redirecting your file to stdin.
+#   Copy and paste output to a new file, use unix 'cut'
+#   E.g.:    cut -d' ' -f1,2,4- abc.txt 
+#   to remove the third column of original times,
+#   use vim to make any other global edits needed.
+#   Example Input:  405 00:02:30 N ....
+#           Output: 01:00:30 405 00:02:30 N ....
