John W.,

I file the fractals by date and what you call FOTD 02-09-06, I file as 090206.par. I occasionally forget that America writes the date backwards

The only rational way to write the date is YYYY.M.D (2006.9.2) or YYYYMMDD (20060902). Either one lets you append the time (HH.MM.SS or HHMMSS), and both produce a very sensible and easily sorted date/time. ;-)

So very true!! And definitely the best way when using computers to store such values. The thing America has failed to do right is use the Metric system. Later, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
