Subject: dates before 1970
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 21:00:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ei6en127.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
This is a sort of bug report but possibly more a curiosity...
I imagine this has something to do with time 0 in Unix but I cannot seem
to be able to enter any date earlier than 1 Jan 1970 using C-c! (say).
However, once I have entered a date (later than that), I can use
S-<down> on the year to get to the date I want. This seems rather
inconsistent?
To be precise, I get the wrong date recorded if I try:
C-c ! 1968-12-10 RET
(where C-c ! is =org-time-stamp-inactive=).
The result is =[2011-12-10 Sat]=
The bug is not so much that I cannot input dates I want but that the
inactive timestamp generated is *incorrect* and yet there is no error
message.
Thanks,
eric
