Subject: working with dates

Hello,

I'd like to see how to control the formatting and storage of dates. I'm in the UK so would like to store my dates in yyyy-mm-dd format, but display them as dd-mm-yyyy; or as '12 December 2006' sometimes as well. I've looked at the Date class, but apart from the printFormat: method (which I can't see an explanation of the format) I can't see any easy way of ensuring that squeak converts my dd-mm-yyyy input into a nice ISO yyyy-mm-dd format.

Could anyone suggest some classes/code to look at?


Thanks very much,
Kel.
