I also have a number of files dated 1980-01-01 with a range of times, but I'm a bit more suspicious about them.
1980-01-01 is the (PC|MS)-DOS epoch. Early PCs did not have a battery backed clock, and so every boot would require manually setting the clock -- and many people did not bother to do so, hence timestamps of that date are not to be trusted.
That would explain those, yes. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge. Web: http://www.davros.org | - Henry Spencer Mobile: +44 7973 377646
