First off, I am perfectly aware of the "alternate" form, and I don't like it because it either creates all-caps representation (which I find hard to read, and I mentioned that), or it creates a "camel-case" representation (all "normal" digits are "capital" letters, while a-f are not, and I do not like that, either). > My awareness and attitude to modifying output presentation using only > formats was hardened by those not using date formats to modify date > presentation during projects prior to Y2K! It may be so but it has nothing to do with the output of NT status here. Also, a little tolerance of how something can be done not exactly the way you would do it, goes a long way.
