*If Cumulus MX is running on Linux or Mac OS X, or any other device that uses UNIX derived operating system, 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). Please see the [[Cumulus MX]] article for more details of their differences and what will change in November 2020. | *If Cumulus MX is running on Linux or Mac OS X, or any other device that uses UNIX derived operating system, then it uses '''Mono''' software for same purposes.

*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. | *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. | *For Cumulus MX there are standard format codes (single characters) and custom format codes (combinations of characters, or single characters prefixed by %) | ||
*The differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, while .NET and MONO are case sensitive. Consequently, .NET (and MONO) can use upper and lower case for different items, but Delphi has to use different letters, ignoring case, for each item. | **The standard characters for dates and times are defined at [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings standard-date-and-time-format-strings] | ||

*In Cumulus MX the same character can have 4 different meanings depending on its case (capital letter or lower-case letter) and depending on whether it is on its own or not | |||
**The case differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, while .NET and MONO are case sensitive. Consequently, .NET (and MONO) can use upper and lower case for different items, but Delphi has to use different letters, ignoring case, for each item. | |||
