Mac OS X 10.4: Displaying the date and time You can have an analog or digital clock appear in the menu bar or in a floating window on your desktop. You can also choose how the time appears (for example, you can choose to see the day of the week, or use a 24-hour clock). I don't know what they do to the locale, but 24 hour format is just a checkbox on the clock tab in the date and time system preferences. Here's what the terminal thinks is my locale information: $ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL="C" Right now I'm in the US with a 24 hour clock on my Mac Desktop. -- Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga Programmer-Archaeologist UPR Bioinformatics Resource Center http://www.hpcf.upr.edu/~humberto/
