I need sources for Chronos module because there are some problems with localization of date/time strings. Can anybody help me?

Erm... don't you think it would be better switching to a modern module (like xLabel) instead? Chronos... man, I haven't seen anyone using that since 2001 or something.

Thanks for your advice. I've started with using xLabel to display date and time but met the same problem with date string localization. The problem is possibly caused by using not unicode functions to get and display date/time strings. I'd like to make some changes in xLabel but cannot find sources for version 3.3.8 (it's very important for me to use this version). Only 3.3.7 and 3.4.2 are available. Do you know where can I get the sources?

I don't know what is wrong with the localization?
The function for the time/date strings is
getLocaleInfo(...) in systeminfo.cpp
It's always the same in all xLabel versions.

But for xModule discussions come to ls-universe.info

you can get the xLabel source from dev.litestep.com

Maybe a problem if your OS is hacked?

The problem is that I cannot display strings in different languages simultaneously because xLabel holds text in not Unicode strings and use not Unicode text output functions. The data/time localization problem is caused by specific OS settings (I should not change them): User Locale – Greek, Default language for not unicode programs – English. So I have wrong characters in month name etc. (English codepage does not contain any Greek characters).
I repeat my question: Does anybody know where I can get sources for xLabel 3.3.8? Thank you very much for your help.
