Question Time difference calculation

Hi Team,
I am currently in the process of writing a script which will take a filename in the format
Code:
SKADEV.0.db2.NODE0000.CATN0000.20080714231015.001

where the sixth string(with "." as the seperator) is the time stamp of the time of creation of the file.

now here is my issue .
I need to be able to calculate the age of this file based on the time stamp in the file name. I will be able to cut the timestamp out of the name using awk.
I can also convert this time stamp in DDMMYYYY format.
All i need is a way where i can calculate the age(i.e how many days old) of this file.
I am on Solaris 8 and using ksh.

The date command on my os is very limited so I do not have the luxuary of a lot of options.

Please assist.
Thanks in advance.

PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3)				     Library Functions Manual					 PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3)

NAME
pcap_list_tstamp_types, pcap_free_tstamp_types - get a list of time stamp types supported by a capture device, and free that list SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h> int pcap_list_tstamp_types(pcap_t *p, int **tstamp_typesp); void pcap_free_tstamp_types(int *tstamp_types); DESCRIPTION
pcap_list_tstamp_types() is used to get a list of the supported time stamp types of the interface associated with the pcap descriptor. pcap_list_tstamp_types() allocates an array to hold the list and sets *tstamp_typesp to point to the array. See pcap-tstamp(7) for a list of all the time stamp types. The caller is responsible for freeing the array with pcap_free_tstamp_types(), which frees the list pointed to by tstamp_types. RETURN VALUE
pcap_list_tstamp_types() returns the number of time stamp types in the array on success and PCAP_ERROR on failure. A return value of zero means that you cannot specify a time stamp type; you are limited to the capture device's default time stamp type. If PCAP_ERROR is returned, pcap_geterr() or pcap_perror() may be called with p as an argument to fetch or display the error text. SEE ALSO
