Error/Problem with Vtclock.c

Well, I fixed this in a hurry; but I think that the problem centered
around the fact that the escape codes hardwired into the program
were backslash-three-three instead of backslash-oh-three-three.

Anyway, this version works on my vt102 (vt100 lookalike) on USG 5.0
on a Vax 11/780.  Enjoy:

	Here's a nifty little program(s) to display the date & time of
	day on the screen of your VT100 terminal on a real-time basis.


	Although I've written it for a VT100, I'm sure those of you who
	have different terminals could modify it.  The only thing that's
	required, is that the terminal has a cursor save function
	within it's command repertoire.

	The swc.c program included is use to switch the clock display
	on/off for those times when you don't want the display, but
	keeps the clock running until switched back on.

**
**	Vtclock provides a visual clock display every minute on
**	a real-time basis.  The display is visable in the lower
**	right-hand corner (row 24, col 56-80) of the screen.
**	Vtclock could be modified to perform on other video
**	terminals, provided they incorporate the cursor save
**	function within their command repertoire.
**
**	Vtclock should be called from the user's .profile for
**	conveinence, but could be called from the shell.
**	It should be run as a backround process, since cursor
**	saving is done prior to clock display.
**
**	An interface program 'swc.c' is used to switch the display
**	on/off depending on it's previous state.  Vtclock saves it's
**	pid in the user's home directory in '.clock_pid'.  Swc reads
**	this file to send the SIGUSR1 (16) signal to vtclock for
**	display switching.  This file is removed when vtclock dies
**	(SIGHUP).
**
**	NOTE:  Some strange things may occur when emacs is used in
**	       conjunction with vtclock.  It may be wise to turn off
**	       the display (swc) prior to entering emacs, and then
**	       turning it back on (swc) after completion.  If you're
**	       a die-hard (like me!) just use the ^L to re-draw the
**	       display.
