Hello Peter

I tried all 3 options on a linux (suse) box and I would like that week 1
start same as MS-outlook (calender, this week is 29).
So it seems Tobi took option W (for Tobi is this week 28) and I would
say MS-Outlook took option V, but with otipon V enabled, the weekly
graph stay the same as before, not changing. Do i need something else
specials that this weekformat feature work? Or do I have to wait 1 week?


%V		  The ISO 8601:1988 week number of the  current  year
              as  a  decimal number, range 01 to 53, where week 1
              is the first week that has at least 4 days  in  the
              current  year,  and with Monday as the first day of
              the week. See also %U and %W. (SU)


 %W 		  The  week  number  of the current year as a decimal
              number, range 00 to 53,  starting  with  the  first
              Monday as the first day of week 01.


Any further input is welcome!

Your problem is in defining where does week 1 start.
Does the week that contains 1st Jan become week 1, or does week 1 start
on the first Monday of January.
ISO standards (ISO 8601:1988(E)) defines week 1 as the one that contains
the first Thursday (which means the first week where more than half the
days are in the new year)

My MRTG (through both RateUp and Routers2) think we are currently at the
start of Week 28. (I'm on Windoze too). Re-reading an old reply, Tobi
said he considers week 1 starting on the first Monday.
Lotus Notes calls this week 29 (follows ISO)

So I think you are stuffed.

Under Micro$oft I am fairly sure that support for the weekformat letter
options is flaky. I tried playing around a couple of years back (when
looking at week Zero) and nothing worked (other than making the week
start on a Sunday) But I don't think any of those options is designed to
redefine week 1 anyway.
