I don't know about any cross-platform differences with dates but the
two dates you quoted are both significant in Rev.

1/1/1970 is 0 seconds (at midnight GMT). This can cause strange things
to happen if you end up working with negative seconds.

35 is the default century cutoff, so any dates before 1935 will get
shown as 2035 after using the convert command, unless you change the
cutoff.

If you want to have a look at another calendar, mine is available at
