I'm pretty sure this is documented, though I don't recall where offhand. The first four bytes represent a magic number, and the second four bytes represent the date on which the bytecode was compiled (or was it the timestamp of the source file?). It's gotta be in the docs somewhere, else I'd have to just remember all that! ;-) Seriously, if you don't see it in the docs, file a bug report and tell me where you looked & why; it probably means there's something missing, if only a link to wherever it actually is. -Fred -- Fred L.
