If we're reworking filestamps, why not make them ISO 8601
compliant? Where a relatively clear international standard
for date-time combinations exists, shouldn't we use it?
For example, 8:30 AM on April 15, 1996 (local time) would
be written as 19960415T083000. The same time in UTC-based
time would be written as: 19960415T083000Z (with a strong
preference for stamps being constructed with UTC times!).
Besides, ISO 8601 is Y2K compliant! ;}
Blessings!

from the preamble:
i don't know about the rest of you, but i file things out
often. this
changeSet provides a better (IMHO) filestamp than the
current one. it has
the following format: yymmdd at hhmm
everything is zero-padded if necessary and the hours are on
military (19 =
7pm) time. you can easily find the most recent file (if the
files are sorted
by name)
