Once you do get 5.0 you can use finfo to get the last accessed time. The item number is 40, the mnemonic is 'ACCESS TIME'. You can enter :help finfo to see all the items. Since I didn't remember the name I did this: :help finfo >foo :save foo :grep 'ACCESS FOO' (note: hpbin.sys is in my hppath var) 7 ACCESSED String Last access date FMTACCESSED LAST ACCESS DATE -7 LAST ACCESS DATE INTEGER Integer Last access date INTACCESSED 40 ACCESS TIME String Time of last file FMTACCESSTIME access (clock format) LAST ACCESS TIME -40 LAST ACCESS TIME INTEGER Integer Time of last access INTACCESSTIME (clock format) Also, on 5.0 there is the ALTFILE command which allows you to alter a file's owner (creator) and POSIX group id (GID) I know this doesn't help you on 4.0....sorry.
