Since a DOS box is a Win32 console, not a true DOS session, you can use
Win32 API functions in console applications.  Use GetLocaleInfo() to
retreive locale-specific formats.

If you are using the VCL, then it already retreives many locale formats at
startup and stores them into global variables, such as the "ShortDateFormat"
variable.
