Dick,

please keep the discussion on the list. I'm not sure I understand your  
problem. Do you need to display the dates in US-format. They are not good  
examples for parsing but they seem to be parsing correctly. With your  
previous error - I'm not sure if you really do have the correct version of  
mx.DateTime. Can you please check DT.__version__
