The software is undoubtly using the tm_year member of a struct tm.
The tm_year member is "number of years since 1900". This code
demostrates it:
#include <time.h>
main () {
struct tm *now;
time_t sec;
sec = time(0);
now = localtime(&sec);
printf("The year is: %d\n", now->tm_year);
}
I had been using an ancient "smail" mail binary built in 1993 or so for
sending email that had this "bug", and would put the Date year at
"100". I fixed the code and recompiled :-)
Best,
Karl Runge
