[no subject]

I have suddenly discovered that data that _used_ to
be available with the old DOS file formats seems no
longer available.
Specifically, a detailed listing of a file in the 
dim, dark historical past used to provide both the
original write/create date _and_ the most recent write
(or access -- I don't remember which) date.

Now all I seem to have is the most recent "modification"
which isn't much help as, in fact, that is the last "read"
date.
Is there _any_ way to recover the original write date of 
a file, or is that data no longer part of the file format?

The files in question are MS Word files that were originally
created on Win box and then sent to me.
