Formating of date and time

The cookie provides information about the formatting of date and time 
within the system. The bits 0-7 contain the ASCII value of the 
character that is to serve as a separator for the date; if 0, then "/" 
will be used.

The bits 8-11 describe the formatting of the date. This can be:

0 = Format "MM-DD-YY"  (month, day, year)
1 = Format "DD-MM-YY"  (day, month, year)
2 = Format "YY-MM-DD"  (year, month, day)
3 = Format "YY-DD-MM"  (year, day, month)

In the bits 12-15 the time format is coded. This can be:

0 = 12-hour display
1 = 24-hour display

The upper WORD is reserved for future use.
