I use the time-stamp command to insert a created time and last
modified time via a 'tempo' skeleton template I have. This works really well -
when I insert the skeleton I get this

The Last Modified field is updated each time I save the file. The
relevant time-stamp stuff from my .emacs is
(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
(setq time-stamp-active t)
(setq time-stamp-format "%:a, %02d %:b %:y %02I:%02M %#P %Z")
(setq time-stamp-start "\\(Time-stamp:[ ]+\\\\?[\"<]+\\|Last Modified:[
]\\)")
(setq time-stamp-end "\\\\?[\">]\\|$")
(setq time-stamp-line-limit 10)
The template is
(tempo-define-template "generic-header"
'((format "%s" comment-start)
" Filename: "
(buffer-file-name) '> 'n
(format "%s" comment-start) "
Creation Date: "
(format-time-string "%A, %d %B
%Y %I:%M %p %Z") '> 'n
(format "%s" comment-start) "
Last Modified: " '> 'n
(format "%s" comment-start)
" Job: " (p "Job: ")
'> 'n
(format "%s" comment-start)
" Author: Tim Cross
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
'> 'n
(format "%s" comment-start) "
Description:" '> 'n
(format "%s" comment-start) '>
'n
'n))
