You could try setting LANG=ENG before starting Emacs, but I don't think it will help, because if I set LANG=CSY before starting Emacs then I get the same locale values as above, but ls-lisp still presents dates in the standard English way. However, I'm running a precompiled Emacs binary compiled with MSVC, namely In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2003-03-28 on buffy configured using `configure --with-msvc (12.00)' So I would guess that the behaviour you are seeing is caused by the mingw libraries that you are using. If it's a bug then it would appear to be a bug in mingw rather than Emacs. There is probably a later version of mingw available, so you could try rebuilding with that. Alternatively, you should be able to find the precompiled binaries that I'm running on a GNU mirror somewhere. Francis
