I have a simple question:  How do I alter the format of the date
displayed by the Finder when viewing by Name, Size, Kind, etc. ?

It currently reads "Mon, Jun 20, 1991, 3:03 PM".
I want it to read  "6/20/91, 3:03 PM" or something similarly short.
I tried diddling the FVAL resource in the Finder, to no avail.

Please reply via e-mail (if you can't get to me via e-mail, don't
sweat it, I'm sure someone will have :-).  If enough people tell me
they, too, want to know the answer, I'll post a follow-up.  Thanks!
