Converting Unix epoch format to normal date for filePro

[Jean-Pierre A. Radley]

Larry Hoover propounded (on Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 01:08:43PM -0400):
| When you take a Unix epoch formatted date such as: 1240432776, you can 
| convert it to a filePro friendly date such as 04/22/09 in Linux with the 
| command: 
| date +%D --date "Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 +0000 + 1240432776 seconds"
| I can't seem to find a way to do this in SCO Unix Openserver.  The date 
| command is different than in Linux.  Does anyone know offhand of a 
| compatible SCO Unix command to do this, or some way in filePro?

I've got a binary called ctime (if I recall, I extracted source code from
Cnews, but I can't find my ctime.c).  For example:

	jpradley:appl 1$ ctime 1240432776
	Wed Apr 22 16:39:36 2009
	jpradley:appl 2$ ctime -i 1240432776
	Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:39:36 GMT

I believe binary attachments to any submission to this mailing list
get zapped, so I've just copied all 4928 bytes of the OSR5 binary to
ftp.jpr.com/pub.

If you need to change ctime's output into mm/dd/yy format, throw together
a few lines of awk.
