it seems to use LANG rather than LC_TIME. e.g if i have LANG=en_au and LC_TIME=en_dk.utf8, then it uses the au date format of DDMMYY rather than iso format YYYYMMDD. good enough, it's better than MMDDYY. i still think there should be a way to set the date format from within the program - most other GUI programs that display dates have some way of setting it....and many users (including the ones i was setting this up for) aren't going to be able to figure it out. craig ps: i figured out the source of this problem on this machine. i built the machine yesterday using debian-from-scratch 0.99, which doesn't set the default locale like the debian installer does. i'll remember to run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' on any future DFS machines i build. -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (part time cyborg) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
