The statement in the DECnet spec that julian half-day is 15 bits is an obvious bug with an obvious fix; clearly RSX and others have made that fix.  VMS needs to do likewise.

Depends on the implementation.  Nov 9, 2021 on VMS, Ultrix and probably some others. RSX is good until 2065.

Hi,
 
It has been mentioned elsewhere and maybe a while back too but I’m not quite sure when DECnet (VAX/VMS 7.3) started serving up jewels like:
 
%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM  13-NOV-2024 15:15:13.82  %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user DECNET on TUPILE
DECnet event 4.10, circuit up
From node 29.109 (TUPILE),  1-JAN-1977 00:00:53.64
Circuit UNA-0
 
Regards
