[Therion] Is it possible to reformat output of currentdate tex variable

[bruce at tomo.co.nz]

I have been using /currentdate to identify in an exported pdf map header
when the map was compiled.

 

    \edef\tmp{\the\thversion} \ifx\tmp\empty \else  %only write version and
date if version is not empty

      {\the\legendtextsize\si\the\thversiontitleA: \ss\the\thversiontitleB
\ss\the\thversion}

      {\the\legendtextsize\si\the\datetitle \si\the\currentdate\par}

    \fi

 

It takes the system date and format as input.  So I was using Windows 10 OS
settings to format the date how I preferred it, in the case, d Mmm YYYY.



Seems that Windows 11, my new OS does not have the ability to format the
system date in manner(s) that I find useful.



 

Is there a way for Therion to take the date provided by the OS and reformat
it?

Think I recall someone did offer up something a little cumbersome, but it
escapes me just now.  Anyway, perhaps there is a better way today?

(Run Therion in a Win10 VM?)
