• [ANN] Utilities for 4.3BSD: set post-Y2K date, etc.

    From Dario Niedermann@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 25 16:05:02 2019
    Hi! I am releasing 'datekit-1.0' for 4.3BSD-Reno: a couple of free
    utilities for setting post-Y2K date and time, plus timezone and DST.

    Here's a brief outtake from the README, detailing the archive contents:

    [...]
    date.c
    the 4.3BSD-Quasijarus `date' program, modified to optionally accept
    4-digit years, and default to post-2000 for 2-digit years [...]
    It can also:
    + set Daylight Saving Time: option -d
    [...]
    + set a time zone: -t minutes-West-of-Greenwich.
    Negative values for East.

    rdate.c
    the `rdate' program ported from OpenBSD 2.0: it synchronizes your
    machine's clock to that of a remote host, by connecting to the
    host's "time" service.
    [...]

    Man page for `rdate' and a Makefile for both programs are provided.

    All of the above made and tested in 4.3BSD-Reno, on an emulated
    VAX-11/780.
