unsure if this is a unix datestamp??? can you guys tell?
hi everyone im new here and im hoping you could help me out here. Yesterday i removed a time stamp from a program that i am using.This timestamp should contain a date of 04/04/2008 with a time sometime in that day.

the stamp in hex is 7C FE 2B 04 DA 4E E3 40

ive looked everywhere and im totally stumped, is the date stored in some sort of unix format?

i would appreciate any input from you guy or any advice how i could find out format this timestamp is stored in.

cheers

What you re saying doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

How do you see the "timestamp" - with ls <programname> or with ident or nm?

Did you run strip or touch on the program? IF you do this
Code:
vi programname

Does it say "executable"
