Is that wise? See the InterNIC and handles...
What I mean is that a handle lives as long as the object it identifies. If the object is deleted that handle is not reused to identify a different object. I used to believe that high numbers in handles should be avoided and handles could be re-used. In the light of various problems and the "history" questions I referred to, I now believe that handles should not be re-used. Daniel
