> Out here in "global territory" it is as automatic for us to write the date as 22/11/2001 as it is for you to write 11/22/2001. Borland's software constantly punishes us for not conforming to American standards.

Thanks for this comment.

It always gives me the creeps when I see a date like 10/11/2001.
Is it October 11th or November 10th?

(just like when someone is talkin' of billions. What's a billion? In
Germany it's 10^12 in America it's 10^9...)

Not so easy to deal with ....

( Fortunately there are also dates like 11/20/2001 :) )
