date problem with Rev 2.8.1

[Yves COPPE]

Hi list


I'am a mac user and test an app on windows (with the computer of a  
friend)

I use this script on a French system

   set usesystemdate to true
   put the long date into toDayName
   set usesystemdate to false
   put word 1 of toDayName into toDayName



today, I get

on mac "Vendredi" (= Friday)
on Windows Xp "Samedi" (= Saturday)


????

Can anyone explain what happens ?

Thanks.

Greetings.
