Yes and no.  You can:
	$ SET VOL/RETENTION=(0-0:0:0.01,0-0:0:0.01) disk_name
and then use the EXPIRATION DATE of the file to get the last access time.  For
more details, issue the command HELP SET VOLUME/RETENTION.  Note:  This could,
of course, interfere with other uses of the expiration date.

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
