    Here is a little code snippet:

    Platform::LocalTime lt;
Platform::getLocalTime(lt);

char temp[128];
dSprintf(temp,128," %d/%d/%d ",lt.month+1,lt.monthday,lt.year+1900);

    It'll put the date in the form of "8/02/2009" in the temp buffer. Modify to get what you need.

    Excellent, Thanks Kevin, much appreciated :)

    Hopefully I will get iTGB in the next 3 or 4 weeks, so it is good to know that it can do what I need it to.
