It's a nice time to jump aboard ... as you can now develop totally on
pnet ..

I've been wanting some work done on the output of System.DateTime class..
This means that you get a string like "dd/MM/yyyy" would give me 25/11/2002
today ... 

The DateTime.Day , Month , Year etc ... are available .. it's a matter of
reading the format string and producing the correct output ...

The code would be placed in runtime/System/Private/DateTimeFormatter.cs and
called from DateTime.cs ..

The pnetlib/HACKING file should provide lots of info about the indentation,
coding style , variable names , etc .. Try to follow them as far as possible.

And if you want any more help , contact me .
