Very wrong would be an understatement. I don't know AIX so I can't help you keystroke by keystroke. But in general you need to copy the code from the internet and create a file called convdate.c. Then you need to to compile that into an executable. Maybe your compiler is called "cc" and maybe it's on your PATH. Try this:

cc convdate.c -o convdate

If that works, great! Otherwise, you will need to find an AIX expert.

active.times

ACTIVE.TIMES(5) 					    InterNetNews Documentation						   ACTIVE.TIMES(5)

NAME

       active.times - List of local creation times of newsgroups

DESCRIPTION

       The file pathdb/active.times provides a chronological record of when newsgroups were created on the local server.  This file is normally
       updated by mod-active and innd whenever a newgroup control message is processed or a "ctlinnd newgroup" command is issued, and is used by
       nnrpd to answer NEWGROUPS requests.

       Each line consists of three fields:

	   <name> <time> <creator>

       The first field is the name of the newsgroup.  The second field is the time it was created, expressed as the number of seconds since the
       epoch.  The third field is plain text intended to describe the entity that created the newsgroup.  This field is encoded in UTF-8 and is
       usually the e-mail address of the person who created the group, as specified in the control message or on the ctlinnd command line, or the
       newsmaster specified at configure time if no creator argument was given to ctlinnd (by default, it is "usenet").

       You can get the active.times file of another NNTP server with getlist(1).

EXAMPLE

       The line:

	  news.admin.moderation 1175716803 <group-admin@isc.org>

       shows that the newsgroup news.admin.moderation was created on April 4th, 2007, at 20:00:03 UTC.	This date can be obtained for instance
       with "convdate -c 1175716803" (convdate(1) is shipped with INN) or "date -u -d "Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 +0000 + 1175716803 seconds"".  It is
       when the newsgroup was locally created; in this example, it is when a control message sent by "group-admin@isc.org" was received and
       processed by the news server (see control.ctl(5) for more details).  Therefore, the time is not necessarily the same on every news server.
