It would be good if the doom-sayers actually tried before then lied.....
Just in case anybody wants to try it:
int main()
{
int x = 0x7fffff00;
stime(&x);
}

As you can see, the machine still runs. There was a little
hickup in the 'sleep 1' it slept more than a second.
Remember to `rdate` your computer before you do any serious
work. The file-dates correctly show the new, before Unix, time and
date.
Cheers,
