Hi Mark,

You can modify the country=j in c:\windows\system32\config.nt.

Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!

| We have a subsidiary in Australia. We have a DOS based
| program over there that we ran under windows 95 that ran
| fine with the Country=J line inthe config.sys file that
| made the DOS side of Windows 95 believe it ws in
| australia. All the date formats of dd/mm/yyyy was fine.
| Now that we have upgraded to Windows XP, this switch no
| longer appears to be working. We have the regional
| settings of Windows XP environment set yo Australia. Does
| XOP use the config.sys file anymore? Any one know what
| can be done so that dos programs can run in the
| international date modes?

| Thanks!
