	I put Simon in my system folder, and changed the way the dates
were presented (e.g., from Tuesday, October 18, 1988 to 18 October 1988).
Then I opened HyperCard and went to my Datebook stack.  I have a script
that goes to the particular card for that day by finding word 2 of item 2
of the long date.  Well, suddenly there's no item 2, and the script doesn't
work.  Rather than go back and find all the scripts that do searches based on
the long date and change them, I dumped Simon.  It's a useful thing if you
like European calendars, but it's not worth the effort of digging through
that much HyperTalk.  Thanks anyway.
