Has anyone else noticed after the "patch" that the date format now
reads for example a race on April 27, 1996 used to be 4/27/96 and now
reads 27/4/96 ? Is there a reason this was changed or is this a "patch
bug"?

Ron,
I have been trying to fix this problem over the last 24 hrs and I am not
getting anywhere at the moment. If I can fix it, or get Sierra to tell
me how to fix it I will post it on my page.

Well that depends, TECHNICALLY DD/MM/YR
is a date format that the military uses... so

April 25, 1997 would appear as 25 April 1997

Maybe Papyrus has a Ex-Military guy in the group??? :)

The date back to front is normal for us fallas over here in
New Zealand. It is (day-month-year) for us. So I like and
don't be rude to me.

I did not know the object of N2 was to sit in front of the computer and
read the date. Thanks for letting us know.

the New Zealand version........not a chance. Typical Sierra!!

Well most of the countries have the international system. So here in
Canada it's the correct way for the date (day-month-year). Most of the
countries around the world have adopted this way of calculating. So
it's Kilometres not miles :)

Lol, I thought the date thing may have been caused by my editing of
the calendar file or something similar. I've become fairly skilled at
messing things up such as this. I can live with this now that I know
its not just me. Sort of like the "metric" system. Just something to
get used to.

Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag; Papyrus has moved to Belgium.

Actually, it looks like the internationalization code got included in the
patch build. Opps ... we're aware of it back at Papyrus (still in MA) ...

Well, the good 'ol US of A is still using the antiqated non-metric system,
because
we have found it too hard to do the conversion, for some odd reason or
another. :)

So, us Americans are the ones complaining about it, unfortunately.

Chas, get with the majority of the world and change all your dates to the
international (dd/mm/yy) format! :-)
