Re: [h-e-w] UK date format in Dired

Eli,

Thanks again, 

I certainly don't seem to be able to get the setq option to work, but as I said elsewhere this has become more of a distraction than it should have.

I am just going to live with it for now and get back to leaning Emacs.

It should.

The latter one is not supposed to work, as Emacs on Windows doesn't
use `ls' the external program, but rather uses the emulation in
ls-lisp.el.  Modifying ls-lisp-format-time-list should work, unless
there's a bug.
