I think there is so much confusion about the Entered-date fiels, that maybe we 
should switch on using version 4.





"The 1999-12-22 version (version 4) is only a minor change from version 3.

  - First, version 4 entries begin with a line containing "Begin4" rather

    than "Begin3".

  - The other difference is that dates are now in the format specified in

    ISO 8601 <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html>."


Because in version 4, the Entered date is defined as:

The 1999-12-22 version (version 4) is only a minor change from version 3.

  - First, version 4 entries begin with a line containing "Begin4" rather

    than "Begin3".

  - The other difference is that dates are now in the format specified in

    ISO 8601 <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html>.

See https://lsm.qqx.org/LSM.README



But we use version 3, where it should be:



Entered-date:   Date in format ddMMMyy of when the LSM entry was last

                modified, where dd is 2-digit day of month, MMM is

                ALL-CAPITALIZED first 3 English month letters, and yy

                is last two digits of the year in the Gregorian

                calendar.  Note that you should fill in both Version

                and Entered-date.

according to: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/LSM/LSM.README



Also, I come on the subject because for Bolitare, we now have:

Begin3

Title:          Bolitaire

Version:        0.62b

Entered-date:   2015-12-04

Description:    A Freecell card game

Author:         Yogesh

Copying-policy: GNU General Public License, Version 2

Summary:        A Freecell card game for DOS.

Modified-date:  2025-03-23.2

End



Where a Modified-date was added, but Entered is supposed to be the date of last 
modification (both in

version 3 and 4)
