Well, that's just wonderful. I tried the same situation Tom Evans
reported with ResEdit 2.1, to see if they'd fixed the bug yet. You
won't believe what they've done...

2.1 displays dates in American format, regardless!

That's right, my system is set to "Australian" (gritting of teeth)
date format too, but ResEdit 2.1 seems to ignore that.

I think that's stupid. I'm *sure* System 6.0.x includes routines
that will parse dates as well as format them--why can't ResEdit
use these?
