Call me "picky," Chris, but that would be "yy-mm-dd" for "01-12-31,"
"yyyy-mm-dd" for "2001-12-31"...
BTW, when I set my decrepit olde Win '95 machine to the ISO dating scheme, it
complied w/o a hitch, as do most of my "apps"; I could even choose my
delimiters, within limits. The one rogue of the lot is my equally ancient
Quicken '99*. It feels compelled to give me "yy-mm-dd," which, to us Yanks,
looks enough like our "mm-dd-yy" to confuse to the sh-- out of anyone. If
Quicken 2002 gives true "yyyy-mm-dd," I'll give in and upgrade.
*Quicken is a "financial planner," id est a database modified into a
glorified checkbook—jussincase versions aren't sold worldwide.
