Hi!

I read the explanation of the options you mention. Even with a file as big as 
to generate only 97 files I get this
x00
x01
...
x89
x9000
x9001
....
x9007

While it is true that with the option "-a 3" I get the expected results (....
x089, x090, ....) I still think it is not the normal behavior to jump from x89 
to x9000. x90 (and x91...x97) would be a perfectly good name with the same 
suffix lenght of all the other names (i.e. 2). 

Thanks for your reply,

beatrice
