Don't write file creation time to varobs and cx files #144

Closed adammaycock closed 1 year ago

adammaycock commented 1 year ago

Currently the file creation time ("now") is written to the fixed length header of varobs and cx files. This makes it awkward to compare files that we would otherwise expect to be exactly identical from two applications run in identical configuration.

Note that OPS does not write file creation time for the reason (see old OPS #3020). Therefore the opsinputs change required to fix this will not need to be mirrored in OPS.
