I considered adding the single quote <'> as separator to my debugger's expression evaluator (besides the NASM style underscore <_>) but it clashed with its usage as quote for strings. (Could have overloaded it inside digit sequences, but the syntax is too kludgy already anyway.)

I think your preferred style is either "what the American default is anyway" or maybe a small variant, if default has am/pm. So I am sure you can find a setting with date and time style of your taste in the kernel. And I am sure that you need no drivers for keyboard or fonts, because you already like the BIOS default settings for those :-) Eric -- BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Hi Bernd, Dos386, > I'd like to see -MM-DD (with dashes) and without COUNTRY. ... or Japanese MMDD as Bernd mentioned ... >> makes sorting files by date so much easier. > > :-) ...or all the other date formattings: You can just set your country depending on your taste. As long as you do not use nlsfunc, nothing will try to make your keyboard or font Japanese. Simply pick a place where date, time and number formats match your taste, e.g. German dd.mm. hh:mm 1.000,00 for COUNTRY even if your LANG setting for strings, DISPLAY fonts (if any) and keyboard layout (if any other than BIOS default US QWERTY) are totally different ;-) Eric PS: Note that COUNTRY also influences the "yes no characters" and currency sign and a few other things...

What should have been shown:

O Numero de Serie do volume e 0F22-0808

Another thing: the alignment in the "occupied bytes" number is wrong; since
the Portuguese word "arquivo" is longer than "file", the spacing should have
been adjjusted accordingly.
