A utility like PDS (from "CBT mods tape" collection) will display the
linkedit date (but no time), which is recorded with the LMOD by
LNKEDIT.  If the lmod was inserted directly into the PDS by LNKEDIT,
this is as close as you can get.  If copied from another PDS, then you
have same problem as with text members - you only see dates associated
with the original, not the date of the move.  Browsing a LMOD may also
reveal date-time stamps in the individual CSECTS, but only if these were
generated using conventions or compilers that imbed such information
there.  Dates in the CSECTS would most likely be compile dates, which
could be earlier than the LNKEDIT date.
