Problem

Solutions: FYI:
A new interim release for English-Canada (dated 08-01-91) has been released. This release replaces the 07-25-91 release and is equivalent to the 05-31-91 US master. The .LRS file has been changed from the previous interim.

The WP.LRS file contains information to set up naming conventions and formats for specific country needs when using form of date (day, month, year, numbers or names). The language for which the WP.EXE was intended is contained in the WP.FIL. The WP.FIL will link to the WP.LRS and use the proper country information. If a user is not happy with the default settings he can edit the WP.LRS file. This will change how the date appears in List Files and on the HELP screen as well as automatically changing the format for the date function (Shift-F5, 1 or 2). The file begins with the information standard for the US and goes on to other English-Foreign versions (e.g., English-Czech, or English-United Kingdom).

The following steps will change the date conventions to read the same as US:

1.      Retrieve the WP.LRS file.
2.      Search for the UK English section (F2, uk[Hrt]English, F2)
3.      Move to the next line and edit the date code format to read: 3 1, 4.
4.      Resave the file through Text In/Out (Ctrl-F5, 1, 1).
5.      Exit WP and re-enter. List Files and the Help date will be read from the .LRS file with the new format.

Every time you have to edit the .LRS file and make the above changes, an STR should be entered.

Editing the .LRS file will change the dates in List Files, and will change the UK master date on the Help screen. There are two dates on the Help screen though. The date of the UK master is in the upper right corner. The date of the US master is under the license number.

After changing the .LRS file, the following problem occurs when viewing the Help screen. The US master date (which is part of the WP.FIL file) is displayed in European Format (31-5-91). With the edited .LRS file, the UK master date will appear in US format (3 1, 4). This may cause our customers some concern. There is not a way to change the US master date.
