What do you mean by `C' above.

Too bad, but at least there is the alias route suggested by Robs. For practical purposes that should be good as any. Although there may be places where alias won't be seen, like maybe inside emacs/dired. I just checked that and of course an alias in one or another init script will NOT be useful for emacs/dired. It still shows the European style date. That can probably be corrected inside emacs but still some ENV setting would be nice to have it `just work'. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
