Solaris (nor any other flavour of UNIX) doesn't store the
creation date of a file. The closest you can get is the
inode's modification time, which if it isn't changed, will
be the same as the creation time.

If you want to konw the creation time of a file, try putting
it as part of the file name, e.g., foo_20030710.jpeg.
