>Description</H2
><P
>     <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>makethumbs</B
> tries a variety of means to find the
     times and dates of images.  Some of these checks depend on filenames
     and directories, looking for date-like things in them.
  </P
><P
>     Unfortunately, not everyone writes their dates in proper ISO 8601
     format.  In the US, the day March 8th is written 3/8 and the date
     March 8 2002 is written 3/8/02 or 3/8/2002.  In many other parts of
     the world, this date would be written 8/3 or 8/3/02.  Poor little
     <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>makethumbs</B
> has no way to tell what part of the world
     it is running in, so it assumes that it might be running in the US, and
     will interpret a date like 3/8/2002 as March 8th 2002.
  </P
><P
>     If you don't live in the US, you should probably set this variable
     to <KBD
CLASS="USERINPUT"
>0</KBD
> so <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>makethumbs</B
> doesn't
     misinterpret a date in your files or directories.  Or you can move
     to the US, whatever works best for you.
  </P
><P
>     <CODE
CLASS="VARNAME"
>usa_specific_date_format_checks</CODE
> is a boolean variable;
     set it to <KBD
CLASS="USERINPUT"
>0</KBD
> to indicate that dates should not
     be interpreted in the US order.
