I did this, and the right format is used, but unfortunately the '-'s were replaced by other characters. This is somewhat frustrating; for starters, why is the default date format on the 'internationalist' Debian OS the illogical US standard? And second, why is there no easy-to-use ISO format date? Right now I'm using the German standard, which is better than what I had, but still not what I want. -- David P.
