{ millisecsSince1970 formatString -> formatted-string }

The printTime provides functionality corresponding to C's strftime(): it takes a date expressed as an integer giving the time in milliseconds since 1970 (such as may be obtained from .sys$s.millisecsSince1970), and a format string similar to that used by ]print, and returns a string expressing the given time:

Stack:
.sys$s.millisecsSince1970  "%c" printTime
Stack: "94Aug13:00:08:33"
