Non-English dates

[Monte Goulding]

Actually the history of the english date goes right back to HyperCard. In
most cases your best bet is to use the system modifier. The english modifier
actually does nothing unless you have useSystemDate set to true and I assume
is only there for HC compatibility.

PS, good to see another Australian. If you're interested in joining a very
(ultra) low volume list of Australian Revers just email to:
