Yes, Tim this looks better to me and to my way of thinking also presents
a valid reason for having figures before the file name in the lister as
compared with: A.Jan.TCD
B.Feb.TCD
C.Mar.TCD (These are files in my TurboCalc cash-book).
I have set up my months thus: 2001 01 00 Jan.TCD
2001 02 00 Feb.TCD
2001 03 00 Mar.TCD
It seems to work okay without the hyphen between the YMD figures in
both Dopus and the requesters of other programmes I'm using.
Many thanks again, Tim.
Kind Regards.
Ted.
