<H3>Synopsis.</H3>
<code><strong>mbseq</strong></code>
<P> <P>
<H3>Description.</H3>
<strong>mbseq</strong> writes a eight character hexadecimal unique sequence
number to the stdout. This number is received from <strong>mbsed</strong>
which keeps track of the generated sequence numbers. This written number can
be used in shell scripts to create unique filenames for Fidonet .pkt files,
for example:
<code>
cp temp.pkt `mbseq`.pkt
</code>
<H3>Bugs.</H3>
Nah, it's only 50 lines code, what could go wrong?
