Ken references the 'unique' function in his program to get a unique sequential number: > /* > * Spool file name starts with tf, followed by grade, followed by > * a unique sequential number. The files are sorted by this name > * for priority of execution. > */ > spoolnumber = unique(); > sprintf(tfname, tffmt, SPOOLDIR, queue, grade, spoolnumber); The source code for unique was not in the original article nor is it in our library (on a Sun 2-120 running bsd4.2). Does anyone have the source for unique or a description of what it does? Mail sent to Ken has been returned by the watmath mailer.
