Morning Maurice,

Those umlaut letters doesn't show up nicely in an ASCII environment ;o)

MK> Understood.  That is why I started writing my own over the years.

That's what I have done many years. I had to start using assembly to get
usable programs from my Sinclair ZX-81 and its 16 Mb RAM.

When I upgraded to a CP/M machine I began programming in Pascal and C,
first with Borlands Turbo versions and then with the "real" things.

I also tried my hand at Modula-2 and CA-Realizer but they didn't catch
on me. As for Realizer I lost interest for Windows and didn't then have
any use for a program language that could be used to create both OS/2
and Windows programs.

 HG> countries I know use the "old" format of dd/mm/yyyy

MK> Testing the old format where dd/mm/yyyy becomes 03/10/2015 yields;

:r !date --rfc-3339=seconds --date="03/10/2015 21:59:19 -8:00"

MK> 2015-03-11 05:59:19+00:00

MK> Which isn't the same thing.  Not sure what locale setting would be
MK> needed to get the correct result.  According to
MK> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country Sweden's format
MK> is yyyy-mm-dd which is the same as %F which is what my uplink uses

Yes, that's what they have used since AFAIK 1986 or something .....

 HG> Even Australia seems to stay with the old format.

MK> I see it listed as dd.mm.yyyy and using that format and en_AU gives
MK> me an error even if I set LC_TIME=en_AU which is the locale setting
MK> for Australia.  It could be an issue with modern C libs.  I'll have
MK> to check it out.  Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks to you also for the discussion of the different date expressions.


CU L8ER,

Holger
