- I was just poking around with the Win-OS/2 "International" control
- panel and I noticed that the date setting has both short (e.g. 12/20/92
- vs. 20-12-92) and long (e.g. Dec 20, 1992 vs. 20 Dec 1992) fields so
- you can set the defaults for both kind of dates. "Country" under "system
- setup" for OS/2 has a setting only for the short format. Any idea why
- IBM didn't put in a long format selection for the date?
-
- I realize this is a little thing, but little things make a system more
- polished.
