At present, the only formats that Phobos supports are ISO, ISO Extended, and Boost's simple time format. It does not yet have support for custom date/time formatting beyond constructing the string yourself from the properties on a DateTime or SysTime. This was posted about recently in the Announce group though: http://code.dlang.org/packages/datefmt It might do what you want. - Jonathan M Davis
