For what it's worth:

Had a few minutes to play around with the vmsbackup program,
and notices it didn't handle the date routines on non-unix.

I modified getopt_main.c to

        include "descrip.h",
        replaced the function 'time_vms_to_asc' with the one in
                dclmain.c
        linked against the library 'starlet.a'

The files 'descrip.h' and 'starlet.a' are available from same web site
as either the 'str' or 'starlet' library, or from http://srv.net/~kth)

And the date now prints out correctly in the header (at least it
matches what VMS prints for the same save-set).
It still doesn't print dates on each file, but that's another matter.

Is anyone still maintaining vmsbackup that wants to merge this
in (probibly with some kind of #ifdef's for the starlet library)
