I'm using FLABINFO to get the last-access date/time for a particular file with a
view to
finding out how old it is compared to the current date/time. If it's over a
certain number of
seconds or minutes old, then I want to purge it. (This is part of a web-based
app that
uses a lot of temp files as a kind of cache).

I've looked for some intrinsic to manipulate and find differences between
dates/times
and can't find anything.

Any pointers as to where I can find something that can do calculations based on
the
date/time formats returned by FLABINFO (ie CALENDAR/CLOCK format)? Or maybe
suggest ways of doing this more easily?

TIA.

Mark W.
