If you care about being able to understand the file names after you've
generated them, you might use a format other than 020206143260.zip,
perhaps something like 2006-02-02-143260.zip; using MMMM-DD-YY also

ITYM: YYYY-MM-DD Sort of a rotational error...

has the advantage that it sorts nicely in a directory listing.

D'oh! You're right, of course; thanks for the correction.
