Thanks for this Pierre, but it still has the problem that Richard was
talking about with older files showing a date but no time.
Here is an example from some test files on my site:

-rw-r--r--    1 troz       troz                0 Oct  5  2009 test.html
-rw-r--r--    1 troz       troz              228 Mar 17 23:47 test.irev

Taking Jerry's advice to get listings via CGI, I came up with the
following irev script:

<?rev
	put $_GET["folder"] into tFolder
	put shell("ls -l --full-time" && tFolder) into tList
	delete line 1 of tList  -- sum of file sizes

	-- format display for web page (remove next line for CGI work)
	replace cr with "<br />" & cr in tList
	
	put tList
?>

Applying this to the same files in my test folder, I get:

-rw-r--r-- 1 troz troz 0 2009-10-05 19:20:21.000000000 -0500 test.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 troz troz 228 2010-03-18 00:47:57.000000000 -0500 test.irev

Having the seconds to 9 decimal places is a bit excessive, but the
rest of the time data is really good, especially as it includes the
time zone of the server.
(The different time for the test.irev file is due to daylight-savings
changes not being displayed, but since the time zone is there, that
can be accounted for in conversions.)

Cheers,
Sarah
