From 5971fdddb9b4d081b8f1e1efcd11815cc4ec3440 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: jsm <jsm@NetBSD.org>
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 20:00:07 +0000
Subject: Update pom to the third edition of Duffett-Smith's book, and clean it
 up somewhat.  Change time specification format to similar to that used by
 date(1) - taking a command line argument in seconds since the Epoch is silly.
  Date parsing based on code from date(1).

Based on work by Paul Janzen for OpenBSD.
