The problem here is that the guy in the UK might SNADS a report to
someone in the US, or the guy in the US will pass through or TELNET to
the UK and run an enquiry. That's why I like to see dates displayed and
printed in a clear and unambiguous format.

Fred Mitchell's company's ddmmyy format is OK, incidentally, as it's a
UK specific package.
