Right.  My manpages are likewise among the broken ones, which is why I
couldn't find quite what I was looking for and guessed "ISO-3339
format", which is close but no cigar:  ISO-8601 is exactly right, and is
what I meant.

(Pity me moving back from Hong Kong to California, and being eternally
confused by expressions like "02/01/1990" and "down on the first floor".)

Cheers,             The genius of you Americans is that you never make 
Rick Moen           clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves 
rick at linuxmafia.com that make us wonder at the possibility that there may be 
                    something to them that we are missing. --Gamel Abdel Nasser
