[DUG] File age locator function

[David Moorhouse]

Hi Vikas

What exactly are you trying to do with the detection of the file age ?

The file timestamp will reflect the system time at the time the file is
saved - so obviously if the system time is changed then the timestamp on
the file will reflect that changed timestamp !
