A question about the ArgusClientTimeout() function

Carter,

Thanks for those tips on RaClientTimeout! I'm sure I can find a use for them.

I suspect that most clients that make use of this function would expect it to 
be relative to the timestamps in the file. Anybody who simply wanted a normal 
timer could just use setitimer(), I would think.

Well, the 'appOptstring' variable itself is not necessarially important, but 
having some access to client specific options seems important to me. Is there 
another way to define client specific command-line arguments/options?
