Re: How not to reuse idnums ??

Grab a copy of the house cleaning program that I wrote. I'm not sure where
i'd be located, but it re-synchs the files correctly.  At least, I've
never had any problems with anything breaking in the way you're talking
about.  If you can't find it out there (circle list archive, etc) mail me,
and i'll send it to you.
