Yeah, but the arithmetic doesn't work out. Between 1/1/64 and 1/4/75 are only 4021
days.
Hmmm - 31 days * 12 months * 11 years = 4092... That works out about right for 1/4/75.
The date calculation must have assumed that there were 31 days in all months.
I should dig out my old TOPS-10 "telephone book" reference manual and see what
it says...
