I made one that used the number of seconds since 1/1/2000 -- which
required fewer digits than the full date string. Also GetTickCount()
is a good value to use.
My algorithm used date, tick count, and then 4 random digits. After
that, I "compressed" the number string by converting it into
characters. I ended up with about 8 character codes that were pretty
good. I'll dig up the code, if that would help give you any more
direction.
Send the code - that would be great. It might be best to have several
date options and let the developer decide what's best.

Only the untalented can afford to be humble.
