Look in libc/getdate.y.  This assumes that AIX comes with yacc.

Time for the usual repeat (No, Ed, you neednt forward this to
comp.archives!): At present, the latest version of C News may always
be obtained by anonymous ftp from cs.toronto.edu (128.100.1.65) in
pub/cnews.Z, all the patches are in pub/cnews.patches.  (Please do not
ftp during peak hours, 0900-1800 EST.  The machine is a heavily used
file/compute server)

Since utzoo has recently started to answer to zoo.toronto.edu, to the
shock and horror of the world at large (Extra! Extra! Imminent death
of Usenet forecast), it will probably take over the role of official C
news repository once Henry and His ftp daemon reach an agreement over
security holes, lint violations and other aspects of coding style.
Last I heard, the ftp daemon was getting the worst of the
negotiations...:-)
