The output file type is for Integers and each solution (hundreds of thousands of them) is tagged with a six-digit integer identifier for searching and analysis purposes. Leading zeros allow to distinguish these tags from other integers (the solutions). I was thinking about converting the tags with leading zeros into strings, but, then writing them out will be a problem since output file is of type Integer.
