+function tid = timerinit(par1,par2)
+%TIMERINIT Initialize a new timer.
+%   TID = TIMERINIT() initializes a new timer for counting elapsed time,
+%   and returns its id.
+%
+%   TID = TIMERINIT('TIMERNAME') sets the timer name to the specified
+%   string for display purposes.
+%
+%   TID = TIMERINIT(ITERNUM) initializes a new ETA timer for a process with
+%   ITERNUM iterations. An ETA timer can be used for both counting elapsed
+%   time and estimating remaining time.
+%
+%   TID = TIMERINIT('TIMERNAME',ITERNUM) sets the ETA timer name to the
+%   specified string for display purposes.
+%
+%   Example:
+%
+%     tid = timerinit(100); 
+%     for i = 1:100
+%       pause(0.07);
+%       timereta(tid,i,1);
+%     end
+%     timereta(tid,i);
