Good morning Maurice,

 HG> I'll think about putting the name of the weekday in front, if my
 HG> QWK reader has a shortcut for the name of the day.

Thank you very much for the comprehensive list of variables for expres-
sing the day/date/time in programs.

I did immeadetely dig out the manual for the MR/2 Offline Mail Reader, to
find that Nick Knight (the programmer), knew something about programming.

A list of variables is included in the manual, but not as comprehensive
as the one you included.

MK> Usually strftime format specifiers is what are used by any
MK> half-decent software;

Apparently he was/is at least a "half decent programmer"!

- - - - - cut - - - - - the list begins here - - - - - - - - - -
MK>   %%   a literal %
 . . . . . . . . . . .
MK>   %Z   alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)
- - - - - - - - - - - - and ends here - - - - - - - - - - - - -

MK> Looking at the above %d-%m-%Y is what you want which is the opposite
MK> of the usual %F format.  Not counting the locale my datetime format
MK> in the top line of my replies corresponds to "%A, %d %B %Y, %T %z". 
MK> The UTF-8 Swedish characters are obtained with LANG=sv_SE.utf8 just
MK> in case your curious.  Also to obtain your timezone instead of mine
MK> I instructed WeBeBashing to deploy TZ=Europe/Stockholm whenever it
MK> sees the name Holger Granholm in fidonet my replies or posts to you. 
MK> I am using IANA's tzdata2015f which I believe is the most up to date
MK> timezone database as of this writing.

I may even try "On %a d/m/Y which is used in most european countries.
To my knowledge only Sweden and Denmark use yyyy-mm-dd.

MK> Life is good,

It sure is!!!


Have a nice day,

Holger
