Can someone enlighten us as to why distinct serial numbers are required
for the floppies?   This is quite a surprise to me since you can't
gurantee distinct serial numbers on floppies. Even if the serial number
range is mega-digit, there's always a chance of 2 identical numbers being
generated.  What kind of problems are there if the serial numbers are
not distinct?

BTW, to get uemacs 3.7i to read the startup file, invoke it with:
 emacs @PathnameOfStartUpFile,      eg.  d:\edit\emacs @d:\edit\emacs.rc
(thanks again to all the uEmacians who emailed me)
