Program #3
Due Wed, April 12


(1) In this programming assignment, you are to modify the daytime
server example from our book to add a simple protocol.  Your protocol
should be similar to the ones we discussed in class.  The client
should be able to ask the server to return the current date, the
current time, or both the date and time together.  

One big change, the connection between you client and server should
stay open, so that the client can ask for a date, time or date/time as
many times as it likes.  You should also add to your protocol a logout
or stop type of a command so that the client can tell the server that
it is finished and the session should end.

For extra credit, let the client specify the format of the date/time
string the client should return (using the same format specifiers for
the date system call that are currently used in the server program.
