[Bug 349016] [NEW] xls2csv outputs wrong date from date fields

[Tue Abrahamsen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: catdoc

xls2csv apparently doesn't read the information from excelsheets
correctly, so dates are counted from 1904 instead of 1900. This shifts
dates output by 1462 days.

Also see http://www.experts-
exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/MS_DOS/Q_23532177.html

I am currently running Hardy i386, but package version is the same on
Intrepid and Jaunty.

** Affects: catdoc (Ubuntu)
