Yates" Is there any way to retrieve the last accessed date for files? I know last revised is available, but haven't found if RMS keeps the last time a file was simply read. I at one time considered archiving user files that had not been accessed in n days, but gave up when the hook did not seem to exist. I know it would slow down i/o and for this reason may not be available, and yes, I know users could easily beat the archive system, by copying their files to nl: , etc. , but what they don't know will help me free up disk space. John the file system does not currently record that time. Every time someone asked Andy Goldstien for it he groaned and muttered about doubling the number of disk hits. He really doesn't want to. It has been on the decus wish list for years.
