+/************************************************************************
+ *
+ * Purpose: Program to demonstrate the 'stat' function.
+ *          The program will show the modification and access times
+ *	    plus the size of a file.
+ *
+ * Author:  M J Leslie
+ *
+ * Date:    01-Jun-95 MJL Minor bug fixed.
+ *          13-Apr-95 MJL Inital Release
+ *
+ * Notes:   This function is only available to Unix systems. If you
+ *          are on a DOS machine, this will not compile.
+ *
+ * Compile: Change the #define (below) to a suitable file name on your
+ *          system. The file name is not passed on the command line
+ *	    as I did not want to complicate the example.
+ *
