There are only 216 entries in UIDs, though, so if people are just using "last entry + 1" when adding new ones, they should probably start filling the gaps instead. The 100s and 200s are pretty dense, but 350-399 only has 5 entries, 400-499 has 4, 600-699 has 7, 700-799 has 3, etc. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
