Burson | BTW you should also be aware of TIME:*DATE-PRINTING-FORMAT*, which can | be one of the symbols :MM/DD/YY, :MM/DD/YYYY, :DD-MMM-YY, :DD-MMM-YYYY, | or :ISO (the latter behaves as YYYY-MM-DD; I don't know which ISO | standard this is or why Symbolics didn't just write it that way). FWIW, ISO 8601:1988 Data Elements and Interchange Formats -- Information Interchange -- Representation of Dates and Times (+ Technical Corrigendum 1:1991) is the latest incarnation of the "ISO date and time format" standard, but ISO 8601 was itself a "consolidated standard" from several older standards that dealt with dates, times, weeks, etc, separately because they came from different sponsoring organizations. #:Erik -- "Where do you want to go to jail today?" -- U.S. Department of Justice Windows 98 slogan
