Date Conversion Problem

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello everyone,

A date conversion problem has cropped up in one of my stacks.  I have  
a handler that starts with

	set useSysemDate to true

I'm processing tab-delimited text files, so later in the handler I  
have the line

	convert the fourth item of aData[theDate] to abbrev English date

Now, the dates in the text file are in short format, dd/mm/yyyy, e.g.,  
10/12/2007 for Monday, December 10th, and I'm converting them to my  
system's medium format in Leopard, which is Mon, Dec 10, 2007, but  
what I'm getting is the incorrect date because it is coming out in  
American format, mm/dd/yyyy or Fri, Oct 12, 2007.

Is this a Leopard problem?  Because I never had it before I upgraded.   
Dates are critical to my work, so any suggestions would be most  
appreciated.

Incidentally, I'm using Revolution 2.8.1 Build 470 and Leopard 10.5.1  
on an Intel iMac.

Regards,

	Gregory
