Try this:

on mouseUp
   put "1/1/69" into t
   convert t to secs
   convert t to short date
   put t
end mouseUp

Is there yet a convenient way to handle conversion of dates prior to
1/1/70?


I get 1/1/69. I get the same thing if I specify the year exactly:
1/1/1969. Mac OS X Yosemite. What do you get?

-31507200 on Linux, and I believe the same on Windows (though I haven't tested there in a while).

Mark Waddingham flagged this a while back, but I was hoping there may have been some enhancement since then:
