sure that all other aspects of the file are correct before saving,
because importing a CSV file with MM/DD/YY format back into Excel
invariably mangles half the dates. I don't think mangling of dates
should be a problem when working with XLS files though.

(New Zealand)" doesn't offer an MM/DD/YY option.
