I certainly agree that Allaire should make CF more international
friendly, even tho I'm in the US myself...
To answer your question about the separate functions for US & the
rest of the world: The NON-Locale specific functions (without the
LS) are a lot faster. Allaire wrote optimized versions of the
functions that assume US settings & work a lot faster. The LS
versions of the functions have to figure out the locale they're in
before they can start doing any useful work. That could certainly be
fixed, but... That's the reason for the two sets of functions.
Best regards,
Zac Bedell
