Wow... But I really do need to use a proper UUID. I've been trying to see how it's been done by others but it's not easy stuff. I still don't understand about high and low parts of a time stamp and how to convert them.. The Perl module Data::UUID seems very complete and seems to use MD5 to create hashes of the different parts of the time stamp to create the four parts of the UUID but I'm still not getting it.... b/ -- Brad Collins Chenla Labs http://www.chenla.org/ Bangkok, Thailand
