  Hi.
  I'm looking for a relatively simple way (preferably in DCL) to check a file's
modification date against the last interactive LOGIN date.  If the file's date
is more recent, I want to print it out.  Can someone point me towards the right
lexicals (or whatever)?  Or, if you can tell me where someone who knows
FORTRAN, a smattering of C and some old non-VAX assemblers should START reading.
In other words, I'm not totally ignorant when it comes to programming.  However,
sometimes I think I am nearly so when it comes to the VAX and VMS.
