Subject: DATE cant be <1970
Message-Id: <Pine.A32.3.91.971101123054.78906A-100000@callisto.si.usherb.ca>

Specifically, using the time() function does not let you use date <1970
as stated in the documentation:

time() returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT,
Jan. 1, 1970, measured in seconds as an integer value

This is documented in the Date/Time related routines section in the
document at:
http://www.Hughes.com.au/library/msql2/manual/mod_std.htm

Why 1970?
