So the code can already handle decimal fractions of seconds, it's just a  
case adding IO specifiers and adjusting the output routines. Is that  
correct?

I presume axis labelling is done in a centralised fashion so as not to  
duplicate in each terminal , this sounds not too difficult.

Would it be much work to add something like the microsecond specifier I  
suggested and get it to accept a decimal part. (Using %MM:%SS.%UUU takes  
care of any question of european locales using comma separtors on input.)

Does that seem like a good approach?
