A propos dates, a small comment: Most American programmers seem not
to have noticed that there is a world OUTSIDE the U.S. of A. Many
international (read european) programmers include flexible date and
time formats in their programs, but how many american ditto do ?
I'm NOT saying that American programmers are bad, ugly or even narrow-
minded, I just want to make ALL people aware of the need to interna-
tionalize their programs. Tools for this will soon be available in UNIX,
but I doubt that they will be used. The Macintosh computers have had
the international resources for quite some time now, but still not
everybody use them (Read: M*crosoft, MS W*rd)
