+.TH DATE 1 VAX/11
+.UC 4
+.SH NAME
+date \- print and set the date
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B date
+.RB "[ -u ] [ yymmddhhmm [ " . "ss ] ]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If no arguments are given, the current date and time are printed.
+If a date is specified, the current date is set.
+The
+.I -u
+flag is used to display the date in GMT (universial) time.
+This flag may also be used to set GMT time.
+.I yy
+is the last two digits of the year;
+the first
+.I mm
+is the month number;
+.I dd
+is the day number in the month;
+.I hh
+is the hour number (24 hour system);
+the second
+.I mm
+is the minute number;
+.BI . ss
+is optional and is the seconds.
+For example:
+.IP
+date 10080045
+.PP
+sets the date to Oct 8, 12:45 AM.
+The year, month and day may be omitted, the current
+values being the defaults.
+The system operates in GMT.
+.I Date
+takes care of the conversion to and from
+local standard and daylight time.
+.SH FILES
+/usr/adm/wtmp to record time-setting
+.SH SEE ALSO
+utmp(5)
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+`Failed to set date: Not owner' if you try to change the date
+but are not the super-user.
+.SH BUGS
+The system attempts to keep the date in a format closely compatible
+with VMS.  VMS, however, uses local time (rather than GMT) and does
+not understand daylight savings time.  Thus if you use both UNIX
+and VMS, VMS will be running on GMT.
