Thanks!
You can also use:
...
DateToAscii(ct.month,ct.day,ct.year,
(DateFormatType)PrefGetPreference(prefLongDateFormat),Currentdate);
...
TimeToAscii( ct.hour, ct.minute,
(TimeFormatType)PrefGetPreference(prefTimeFormat), Currenttime);
...
To get the time formatted in the system defined preferences for how they
like the date and time displayed.
I get the impression that this code:
SystemPreferencesType sysPrefs;
// Get system preferences
PrefGetPreferences(&sysPrefs);
may have been a start at doing what I described above, but seems unused in
this code...
