Tim,

Thanks for this, I don't know which version of ls I am using, but I am
running emacsW32, and maybe this has modified some aspect of this. I have
now asked across on its support forum about it.

The "setq" code suggested in the help doesn't make any difference :-(

Indeed, although its a bit confusing with recent files, I think I might just
stick with the ISO date format, and come back to this when I know more about
emacs.

Thanks again for your help.

Graham
