Try opening it those program, and see what it shows you in their file
properties.

I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list.
Using the LaTeX Previewer one can see how the date and time appear when one typesets the
document, for instance visit page
http://www.tlhiv.org/ltxpreview/
Copy + Paste following code
<code>
% Calculate the number of hours and number of minutes (24 hour format):
\newcount\inthour
\newcount\inthoursixty
\newcount\intminute
\inthour=\time
\divide\inthour60
\intminute=\time
\inthoursixty=\inthour
\multiply\inthoursixty60
\advance\intminute-\inthoursixty
% Text representations of hours and minutes (24 hour format):
\def\zmonth{\ifnum\month<10\relax0\fi\number\month}
\def\zday{\ifnum\day<10\relax0\fi\number\day}
\def\zhour{\ifnum\inthour<10\relax0\fi\number\inthour}
\def\zminute{\ifnum\intminute<10\relax0\fi\number\intminute}
%\number\year-\zmonth-\zday\space\zhour:\zminute
\[
\overline{x} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}
\]
\texttt{This document was typeset at:
\number\year.\zmonth.\zday:\zhour\zminute}
</code>
A formula appears and this document was typeset at: 20190920:0806
I would like to see/know if something like this can be done with a metapost document. I
hope to clear some doubts if there were some.
Best Regards,
Antonio
