Hi Henry,

Thanks for the sample. I actually tried that very same code yesterday
minus the parens and I kept getting an error. I did not even once think
of putting the parens around it.

One of the advantage of using the "primitives" library is I don't have
to comb through my code looking for usage of NUB (~.) ... all I have to
do is redefine my definition of 
Unique=: ~.
to
Unique=: ~.!.0

Thanks.

Most everything that uses comparison can be made intolerant
by adding !.0 .

   ~ 20080516 20080516 20080516.00000057
2.00805e7
   (~.!.0) 20080516 20080516 20080516.00000057
2.00805e7 2.00805e7
