Hello,

We have 2011,

HOWEVER:

korn% date +%C
20
korn% date
Thu Dec  1 16:26:30 CET 2011


apc%
apc% date +%C
20
apc%
apc% date
Thu Dec  1 16:26:51     2011

And many other call returns that we live in 20 century :)

For a test I changed system time to 1997 and date utility returned 20
century as well :)

best regards
