 I realize you can do this by looking at the properties in the  
 filesystem, but people can change this info.

Well, like all ole2 file formats there are some properties in the
SummaryInformationStream, i.e.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372045.aspx

And also there is dttmCreated in the Document Properties area of
the .doc, which is specific to msword. search for doc on wotsit.org to
get the file format and then search the resulting documentation for
dttmCreated.

The summary properties are the easiest to extract with either the
mswindows apis or libgsf for non-windows.

[dev] Classic MS Word file format question

I need to know if I can tell for certain a file was created on a  
certain date and how to do that.


Thank you.
