It does? Not on my machine. Last Access, yes. Data Change, yes. Attribute
Change, yes. Create, no. 

I hate to say it, but on a windows box just drop to a command prompt and do
a 'dir /tc > dir.txt' to get the same result. The /tc shows the create date.

WRKLNK, option 8 shows these attributes.   It's a native command...   is
that what you're looking for, or did you mean something that will list
them to a file?  or are you trying to retrieve them into a program, or
what?

In addition to WRKLNK, there's various commands that can do this sort of
thing in QShell, though I don't know if you consider QShell to be a
"native command" or not.

Aside from that, there's the stat(), fstat() and lstat() APIs which give
you a lot of the attributes about the files, though I don't know if the
date created is one of them...   The Qp0lGetAttr() API should also give
you this information...
