UniqueDate is a command which generates a unique numeric date string.
Like my UniqueName utility, it's mostly useful in shell scripts, to avoid name
clashes when creating pipes and filenames, but it may also be useful as a
timestamp for automatically generated files.


Usage:
UniqueName G=GREGORIAN/S

The optional switch, "G" or "GREGORIAN", can be specified to switch
the string output format to a more human-friendly date.

The default format is the number of microseconds since Jan. 1st 1978.
E.g. 898499624016706 or SSSSSSSSSµµµµµµ (1 million µS. = 1 Seconds). 

The Gregorian format is the date and time with microseconds.
E.g. 20060622071344396890 or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSµµµµµµ


Examples: (taken straight from the UniqueName readme... I'm sooo lazy!)

Suppose that each time you run a script you want to log its output to a new
file...

 Execute Script >`UniqueDate G`.log

Perhaps within the script you want to redirect some output to other logfiles...

[Script]
 Set log1 Sys`UniqueDate G`.log
 Set log2 Usr`UniqueDate G`.log
 SomeCommand >>$log1
 SomeCommand >>$log2
 SomeCommand >>$log1
 etc...

You can run the script multiple times in parallel without risking overwriting
 another's log file.

Likewise with named PIPEs...

[Script]
 Set pre PIPE:`UniqueDate`
 Set post PIPE:`UniqueDate`
 Run Capture input=$pre output=$post
 Wait 1
 Run Broadcast source=$post
