Sun Microsystems administers the first group of numbers, which should be identical for all customers. If a customer develops an application that might be of general interest, that application should be given an assigned number in the first range.
The second group of numbers is reserved for specific customer applications. This range is intended primarily for debugging new programs.
The third group is reserved for applications that generate program numbers dynamically.
The final groups are reserved for future use, and should not be used.
