In case you use the "real" interface to the ToolBox from MPW C, and you ever
want to know the date in other than short form, try applying this
patch:
target {cincludes}Packages.h;find 186
replace -c 2 /short longFlag/ 'DateForm longFlag'
LongFlag is a byte, and the correct way to pass it to IUDateString is
in the high order byte of a word. The MPW C #include file, as
distributed, passes it in the low-order byte and you always get the
short form for the date, unless you fix the #include file or (heaven
forbid!) use the C interface glue routines for this function (wimp if
you do.)
