Cool. I had to do this just last week. After wasting half an hour
digging through man pages and Google searches, I gave up and wrote a q&d
C program. It seems there ought to be a way to do this with "date -d",
but I can't find a way to get it to take seconds since epoch as an input.
For that matter, I can't figure out how to get it to output the date as
such either.
According to Sean A. Walberg:
