	I wish to find the last time a file has been modified, from
within a C program.  From what I've been able to figure, I need
to call Examine() which returns me a struct FileInfoBlock.  I 
see that this structure has one field called fib_Date or some-
thing (where is this structure documented?  RKM and Developer's
Manual were of no help) -- is this the file creation date or
file modification date?  How do I transform this structure
(a DateStamp struct, I believe) into human-readable (i.e. month
and day) format?  Finally, to call Examine() (and Lock() since
that's what Examine() needs) do I need to open some library?

	Thanks in advance.
