Boy, is my face red!  For months I've been laboring under the impression
that the GFA Basic 3.0 interpreter and compiler produced incompatible
Date$ formats (05/03/1990 vs 03.05.1990).  Well actually, they do, but
it isn't really a bug so much as a different default which can easily
be corrected!!!

To get the 05/03/1990 date$ to appear in both the intepreter AND 
compiler, simpy insert a MODE 1 command.  See the MODE command in
the manual for more discussion.

Blush.
