This will now result in " 4:05 " for your definition file, when it's actually 16:05. Andrey, what do the standards say about this? Would it be an option to disallow the 12-hour clock completely for those locales that do not use it at all? I.e., "%l:%m" would then be identical to "%h:%m". Btw., AM/PM times, and this stupid ``3 feet and 5 7/16 inches'' attitude were about the biggest problems for me when being in the US. :-) [Followups to this sentence to -chat, please, not here!] -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
