(Beware the line eater)

The problem is twofold. First of all, I incorrectly labeled the parameter.
The actual conventions are:

	void IUDateString(dateTime,form,result)
	long dateTime;		(D0.L)
	DateForm form;		(D1.W)
	Str255 *result;		(D2.L)

The dateform values are defined in Packages.h (at least for Consulair C).
For reference, they are:

	// long flag specifying short date format
	#define	shortDate  0    

	// long flag specifying long date format
	#define	longDate  256   

	// long flag specifying medium date format
	#define	medDate  512    

Hope this helps. Incidentally, expect a new version of this library code, with
many bug fixes & new routines, to appear in net.sources.mac shortly. The source
+ object is more than 70K, so it will be posted in small chunks over the space
of several weeks.
