Re: Other information and dates of an archive

Hi,
I assume you are talking about a Windows filesystem, eg FAT32/NTFS.
The author of the file is not stored for these filesystems, but
creation date and last access date is. This is a Windows limitation,
so unless you are saving the author info yourself, ie if files are
created from within your own application, it cannot be done.
Search the archives for examples of walk_dir.

On Linux/Unix the most common filesystem is EXT2/EXT3; these make use of
permissions where the owner of the file and who else has access is defined.


FWIW, on mainframe files, who created it, accessed it, by what program,
etc is very much known and the info is stored. But Windows is not mainframe.

Regards
Alan
