Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package fetches from the system the date of last 
modification or opening of a resident file. It is based 
on an idea by Heiko Oberdiek that appeared in February 
2009 on the TeX newsgroup website comp.text.tex, ie, 
using the \pdffilemoddate command of pdfTeX. A user-
friendly interface is provided for obtaining and 
presenting the needed filedate in several formats.
