What is access time?  In this context, I'm guessing that it means the last
time the file was accessed.  It doesn't mean the time when the file was
last altered, and it doesn't mean the amount of time it took to access the
file.  Is that right?

If so, I guess I wouldn't have much use for access times.  What are they
usually used for?
