changing the default Date format
How do I change the default format of the Date? Right now it says 15th
April 2002 but say I want it to be April 15, 2002 instead? I know I can
do it manually with \date{} but how do I change the default so that it
looks like this when I just say \today for instance..
Thanks,

Find defintion of \today in your particular Babel's language
definition file (I suppose, it is
$TEXMF/tex/generic/babel/english.ldf) and redefine it to your
likes. I guess, that it is sufficiently obvious what to do.
