OOo 3.1.1 on Win XP Pro.

I have a column of dates in a text (.txt) file and want to copy them into a
column of a Calc sheet. I can't because Calc insists on changing the values.

The first few lines of the .txt file look like this:
Fri Apr 30
Fri Apr 30
Sat May 1
Sat May 1
Sun May 2
Sun May 2
Mon May 3

All the dates are *this* year.

If I simply copy/paste those values into Calc I get
01/04/30
01/04/30
01/05/01
01/05/01
01/05/02
01/05/02
01/05/03

If I format the column "DDD MM DD" which should show e.g. Mon 18 May, then I
get
Tue Apr 01
Tue Apr 01
Tue May 01
Tue May 01
Wed May 01
Wed May 01
Thu May 01

Right format but wrong values.

Note that in each case, the first date shows on the Input line as
01/04/1930, the last as 01/05/2003. The "dd/mm" style is right from me
because I use European format as opposed to the US style "mm/dd".

Help. Please.
