Hi Paul.

that's what I do.  32 bit "unixtime" wraps once every approx 120 years
I mulltiplied it by 45( or was it 37) to make spread them out a bit in case the
operator/software runs the program twice in a row on a fast machine but
still keep outside the 3 year repeat limit.

ooh, not good.

I don't see it in any of the echoes that arrive here, (only in netmail
messages)
