Why do you say that? time_t is signed so it can represent a date prior to 1970. In theory, a file prepared on an earlier computer could have been transferred onto a Unix system whilst retaining its original modification time. In this particular case, the date seems unlikely. That said, it is a perfectly valid date and it would be nice if tar could support it - though tar(5) states dates before the epoch are not handled consistently. -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
