5# This program uses awk arithmetic.  POSIX requires awk to support
6# exact integer arithmetic only through 10**10, which means for NTP
7# timestamps this program works only to the year 2216, which is the
8# year 1900 plus 10**10 seconds.  However, in practice
9# POSIX-conforming awk implementations invariably use IEEE-754 double
10# and so support exact integers through 2**53.  By the year 2216,
11# POSIX will almost surely require at least 2**53 for awk, so for NTP
12# timestamps this program should be good until the year 285,428,681
13# (the year 1900 plus 2**53 seconds).  By then leap seconds will be
14# long obsolete, as the Earth will likely slow down so much that
15# there will be more than 25 hours per day and so some other scheme
16# will be needed.
