 For the fixed period, the total number of observation times,
 the first observation time and the period of the 
 observations is input and an output observation sequence is generated.

 For the arbitrary period, the user is queried for the number
 of observing times and then a set of monotonically increasing times.
 Finally, the user selects a file name (traditionally obs_seq.in) to 
 which the output file is written. The format of the output file is
