Hi
Sorry if this is not the newsgroup where I should to ask my question. But I
don't know the *right* newsgroup.
In Windows XP in Control Panel -> Date, Time, Language, and Regional
Options -> Change the format of numbers, dates, and times you can customize
date format by changing "Short date format", for example, from dd.MM.yyyy to
dd.MM.yy and vice verse. Consequently when you will issue DOS command DIR
file date will be displayed accordingly i.e. as dd.MM.yyyy or dd.MM.yy.
My question is what is a (new) DOS int 21h service that can allow me to
determine what date format currently is used? Well-known DOS service 38h and
6501h don't report this information. They tell only about American,
European, and Japan date representation.
