How about this naming convension instead? ;-)
N1528-00.CNM
N1528-01.CNM
N1528-02.CNM
N1528-03.CNM
N1528-04.CNM
N1528-05.CNM
N1528-06.CNM
N1528-07.CNM
N1528-08.CNM
N1528-09.CNM
N1528-0A.CNM
N1528-0B.CNM
N1528-0C.CNM
N1528-0D.CNM
N1528-0E.CNM
N1528-0F.CNM
N1528-0G.CNM
N1528-0H.CNM
N1528-0I.CNM
N1528-0J.CNM
That would allow for 36*36=1296
(about 3.5 years worth of one digest per day)<VBG>
