Excellent.  Thanks for this.  Can you update the file on Worg directly?
If not, I will try to do it.

One point, however.  Should the first return statement in your
datetimestring(input) function (see last line in patch excerpt below)
refer to "input" instead of "datetmp"?  What you have works because of
all variables being global but is less clear than using the argument, I
would suggest?

Thanks again,
