Hi Levente, John, and others,

I have modified the xlog code to output the date in the TSV file in ISO 
8601 format.  My example TSV file looks like this:

2008-01-31      0400    KD5CQX  7       CW      569     

When importing this file into LibreOffice Calc, one needs to tell the 
import GUI that the first column is a date in YMD format.  Once that is 
done, the spreadsheet is populated and it knows that this is a date. 
Afterwards, if one wants a different date format, one can change it with 
Format->Cells.

This is working for me with LibreOffice version 3.5.7.2.

This modification will be in the next xlog release (version 2.0.9).

Thanks, and 73,

Andy
