A PostScript file is written, and later distilled. I'd like the output to include the date and time of distillation. Can PostScript access the machine clock, expressed as a date and time? I'm not stressed whether local or GMT, but want at least one of them?

Please, is it possible, and if so, how?

The question applies to both Adobe Distiller and Ghostscript: a solution that works in one is better than no solution.
