Back in the V6 days at Purdue/EE we purchased the CULC adaptation
of DEC's Fortran-IV-Plus compiler for our PDP-11's.  Part of the
package was a UNIX version of MACRO-11.  I noted with amusement
that the output conversion routine for the date and time (used to
produce listings) for MACRO-11 was never intended to handle a
year greater than 1979 -- when I ran it in 1980 it printed the
date as "13-SEP-7:".

Of course, by that time we only had one PDP-11/45 still running V6.
