The recommended syntax is YYYYMMDDnn (YYYY=year, MM=month, DD=day, nn=revision number. This won't overflow until the year 4294.</blockquote><br /> So please use YYYYMMDDnn, so for the first entry on the day: 2006052301. For the second change on the same day use instead of 01 a 02! <br /> <br /> Tue, 23 May 2006 22:54:53 +0200 http://blog.brachium-system.net/archives/22-guid.html
