 please help...question about how to get output of two commands simultaneously

Hi,

I am trying to display (to screen or file, doesn't matter) the output of
two commands/programs: One is continuous output from qtalk, the other is
date (which displays time and date). I would like each line of data that
qtalk outputs to be accompanied by the _time_ of output. Is this
possible? Redirecting and pipes doesn't seem to be working.

I appreciate _any_ words of advice. Thank you.

How about something like:-

commands ... blah blah ... | ( while read x ; do echo `date` ${x}; done )

        I am not sure if this would work, you might want to try the command
script.
Its output is in the file typescript once you exit.
