Hi

I only received the message underneath today (!), and 
admit that I haven't followed the discussion very closely, 
so this might already have been answered/solved to 
satisfaction, but here it is anyway, a patch that I use 
for idates:

unprotect 'to-date
to-date: func [value /idate] [
     either idate [
         replace/all value: find/tail value ", " " " "/"
         load value
     ] [
         to date! :value ; original to-date
     ]
]
