   Hello Wilfred van Velzen!   
      
    AA>> Ah... so the "serialno" part *must" be 8-char?  Then rando could   
    AA>> still work like so:   
      
    WvV> You should read the fts document on it! ;)   
      
    WvV> "...The serial number may be any eight character hexadecimal number"   
                               ^^^   
      
   I have!  And the little word "may" is merely a suggestion.  ;)   
      
      
    WvV>  H:\myutils>> rando   
    AA>> yZn=ZRG-   
      
   An 8-char series where each char can be [a-z]|[A-Z] = 52^8     
   possible strings. Add the numbers [0-9] and the possibilities   
   climb to 62^8.  Throw in some special char options, and the     
   number climbs even higher. That approach far surpasses the hex     
   choice at 16^8.
