- Can someone explain to me how to read a files date? I have been looking
- through the manual pages, but there are a lot missing on the machine I
- am using. Basically, I am writing a queue processor, where each job in
- the queue is a file in a specific directory. I just need to be able to
- process these jobs in chronological order, then move the file to another
- directory. Is there an easy way of finding the earliest file in a directory?

- Tom.
