The implementation is heavily OS and hardware dependent. GNU libc includes an implementation, that should be portable to the majority of UNIX systems. There are online services that can generate one-off GUIDs for you. You would have to trust that they were built with relable implementations though, so I would only trust one provded by a well known institiution. - Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
