TOPS-20? VMS?
Actually RSX internally also handles it fine, but there were bugs in various
code that displayed dates, that assumed that the year would never go beyond
99. :-)
IIRC there was a bug filed against VMS to the effect that dates past
9999 were not supported. Have to be impressed by that belief in future
engineering :)
I quite liked that the Gould UTC/32 system we used in 1987 had 32bit
padding around any stored filesystem timestamp to allow for moving to
64bit time, ahh ECL systems...
