I was misunderstanding what you posted before. I was assuming you meant that
Americans didn't use a slash format, not that it was backwards. That was my
fault, sorry.

You are correct in the other regard that it is not very good practice for
Borland or IB to only look for certain formats. They should always work
according to the local settings on each computer. Maybe in the future.....
