On our NextStep 3.0 systems, when root attempts to set the date
with, for example, "date 11062201", the date-and-time argument gets
treated as UCT instead of local time.  Thus, after the above
command here, date announces that the time is 1401; I had to use
the argument 11070601 to get the proper local time.  Is this
supposed to be that way?  It's certainly a different assumption
than the one the vendor-supplied date command makes.

Regards, and thanks for the program,
 - Irving
