*Cumulus MX (when running on Windows) uses the '''.NET''' (MONO is a operating system independent version of .NET) date and time format characters | *Cumulus MX (when running on Windows) uses the '''.NET''' software. | ||
*If Cumulus MX is running on Linux or Mac OS X, then it uses '''Mono''' software for same purposes. (MONO is a operating system independent version of .NET, although they are developed independently, they have common origins). | |||
*The date and time format characters in Mono (and .NET) software framework are not exactly the same as the '''Delphi''' software framework ones that Cumulus 1 uses. | |||
*For Cumulus MX see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx this Microsoft site] for format selectors available. | |||
*The differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, while .NET and MONO are case sensitive, so .NET (and MONO) can use upper and lower case for different items, where Delphi has to use different letters. | |||
This can cause problems when somebody moves from using Cumulus 1 to using MX. They need to revisit any templates or scripts where they use output modifiers to specify a date and/or time format. We have already explored this for [[Webtags#NOAA]] | |||
*#For example,[[File:badge v1.png]] in Delphi, "nn" means "minutes" for Cumulus 1, [[File:Badge vMx.png]]but "minutes" is "mm" for .Net in Cumulus MX. | *#For example,[[File:badge v1.png]] in Delphi, "nn" means "minutes" for Cumulus 1, [[File:Badge vMx.png]]but "minutes" is "mm" for .Net in Cumulus MX. |
