Lines: 12 Sender: ranzau@viola.daimi.aau.dk Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: viola.daimi.aau.dk X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.1 Hello, I'm building a prototype of a persistent store. I need some way to create unique names for the objects to be saved. At the moment I'm using the pattern time. The problem is that the result only changes once every second. I'm thinking of adding a counter so that I can create more than one unique name per sec. Does anyone know a better solution? Thanks, Chris ranzau@daimi.aau.dk
