[TRLog] POST & ARRL format

I want to submit my IARU log, but read about some problems
in POST 6.28, so I've been holding off.

Yesterday I installed 6.29, and ran POST to produce an ARRL 
log for the electronic submission.

When POST prompted me for additional "sent" information, I
typed 08.  Here is a sample of the ARRL log it created:

20  CW 11/07/98 1200  1      OK3KZ        08 599  599  28            28       5
20  CW 11/07/98 1202  2      VK2IA        08 599  599  59            59       5
20  CW 11/07/98 1204  3      HA1CW        08 599  599  28                     5

Note that sent exchange appears to be listed as "08 599" not "599 08."

My questions:

1) Is this the correct format for submission of the IARU logs, or 
   should I have not entered "08" when prompted by POST?

2) I don't ever remember being prompted by POST in the past when
   creating ARRL-format logs.  Did something change, or am I just
   imagining it?  Did the ARRL format itself change?

I don't want my log to be rejected or DQed because of improper formatting.
Thanks again folks.
