Julian Dates?

Hi Jeanne,

"Naturally sort in chronological order" was a bad choice of words, 
since I was not directly referring to the sort command.  My meaning 
was seconds and dateItems will sort chronologically without 
"dateTime" in the sort command...ie: that in a character-by-character 
comparison of two dates the earlier date will always be < the later 
date when both dates are are in seconds or dateItems.  This is not 
true of long & short date formats.
