Please fix that, I think it cannot be such a big boris> problem. You really need to be much more specific than that. For most folks, Dired works just fine.

My guess is that it's a locale problem. Are the month names in your directory listing German by any chance? -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
