Given the 2^56 ids available under 0xff, I suspect that would do us for the time being. The real problem is overallocation of the space (thus using it up for non-existant instantiations). I suggest that we allocate 32 bit ranges at a time allowing for a wildly successful project to go to everyone on the net, and still allowing 16M projects. njh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
