# epochToDate
# This script converts epoch time (seconds since January 1, 1970) to a date.
# It expects one command-line argument specifying an epoch time.
# It outputs the date corresponding to that epoch time in the format
# CCYYMMDDhhmm.SS expected by the 'touch' command.
# To get other formats, edit the printf statement in the script.
