Note: UNIX does NOT keep creation times for files.

http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...-2.5-1-bin.zip

is the location for stat.exe for Windows. This gives you file time information.
There is no windows command line utility that gives you all the file information stat.exe can give.

Anyway, it's a start, but I don't see how you are going to write a DOS batch script that will identify files older than a certain date relative to today's date.
For example: files older than 30 days. Play with stat.exe and see if it can help you.
