I haven't actually come across mention of it in the manual, but when
I ran Norton Utilities for the Mac Disk Doctor on my Mac the first
time It collected a list of "Prepostorous Date on File" filenames
for both 2040 and 1904 dates, then asked me if I wanted them fixed.

I said yes, Disk Doctor said "Fixed."
