Hi jeff
I do not have the exact answer and too busy now.
My impression that is printString is not what we want.
I want a
( DatePrinter on: DateAndTime now)
printIso;
noMicrosecond;
noTimezone;
print
Because your printString will certainly not work with my needs?
Now I got no time to work on this but this would be a great project.
So instead of bloating dateAndTime and friends I would separate it.
Did you have a look at the ZTimeStamp project of Sven? Because I remember
he got some facilities but my memory is to vage.
