Fix the date???

I'm in Norway, it is currently 22:46 Wed Aug 18 here. (i.e. 20:46 UTC)

I maintain the windows binaries of the official/open source ntpd 
(Network Time Protocol) distribution, all my machines (and the 25000+ in 
my corporate network) should be very accurate.

Max already solved the problem, the alternative would have been to write 
a wrapper program, also called autopano, that called the original and 
then converted the number formats before returning to the calling 
program (PTAsm).
