RE: Using a UUID to name an IFS file

What about using tmpnam() ??

Or convert them to hex representation... probably safer and easier to
understand.

Subject: Using a UUID to name an IFS file

Are the weird hex codes, generated by using a UUID, going to come back to 
haunt me if I use UUID's to name my IFS files?

EVAL UUID 

  UUID = 'lnõn. Ðä' 

EVAL UUID :X 

     00000     93952803 1D2518CF 954B0004 AC08432B   - ln.....õn...Ð.ä.

Would prefixing them be "a good idea"?  Like prefix them with "UUID" so 
that I can do a RMVLNK '/tmp/UUID*.txt'?
