	According to at(1), the following formats should be accepted:

		You can also specify the date on which the job will be run by giving
		a date in the form month-name day with an optional year, or giving
		a date of the form MMDDYY, MM/DD/YY or DD.MM.YY.

	However when I run at, I get the following:

		idiom:auction<312> /usr/bin/at 0200 06/03/95
		at: garbled time
		idiom:auction<313> /usr/bin/at 02:00 06/03/95
		at: garbled time
		idiom:auction<314> /usr/bin/at 06/03/95 02:00
		at: garbled time

	In fact, the only way I found to enter a date is MMDDYY.
