But it does. I was wondering today in the office why the problem I
described above happened only at home - both machines are set to
English/UK, running TB! 1.44 on C-Win98.... when I finally found out
that the International Settings in Config has some configuration for
date/time format under the fourth tab (don't know the same, something
written in Chinese <g>), and that's where you switch the way the date
is displayed when using %ODateShort. See above: perfect. :-)
Hey, if anybody REALLY wants to learn about Windows, I recommend using
a localized version in a language you cannot read. This way, you spend
a lot more time trying out things, and, as we all know, more effort
also means that it stays in our long-time memory more easily. Just a
cool tip. If you enjoy flying blind, that is. ;-)
