Mike, if you thought the date shown in pr's output is today's date, no it
isn't, it's the file's date.

But Roger, shouldn't a bug report be submitted to somebody or other
(that man page must have been written over thirty years ago) to the
effect that there ain't no creation date to be had for a file?
