Does that include the time?  I know one SunOS system which for weeks
insitsted everything arrived at and was sent at 5:00 -0000
The date would change, but it was always 5a.m. Greenwich.  Interestingly,
the site happened to be EST, -0500 .  Probably a little programing
ooops on someone's part.  Just puzzles me how the date could change
properly when it's supposedly always the same time of day.
Just count 24 hours from the last date change, ignore reporting the
time?
