Hi all,

some of you know that I have been working hard(ly) on a date handling library. I have put some more work into it, in order to get rid of the need to use convert. The library can now parse different date formats without the need to use convert and thus the limitations of the convert command (1970, 2036) can be overcome. There are some more extra goodies in there, even though some more work is needed. You can download the stack from the forums:

I also posted a little call for help there. If you have set your OS to a language different from english, swedish or german, I would like to know the following on your machines:

the system dateFormat
the long system dateFormat
the abbrev system dateFormat
the system monthNames
the abbrev system monthNames
the system weekDayNames
the abbrev system weekDayNames

on your machines, along with the language you are using on your system and if possible the ISO code for that language? That would be a great help! I am aware that this would be too much for the lists, So a private mail, or post to the forums would be fine. I hope some of you will find libDate useful. It is released into the public domain under DBMIAGW (Don't blame Malte if anything goes wrong) license.

All the best,

Malte
