There is a uuid library available in the boost sandbox. I seem to remember it having a bug on Windows, but it was quick to fix.
I checked out the whole sandbox from svn (svn url https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox), but I'm having trouble finding a uuid library there. what would be the name of the library?

uuid_v13.zip (and other versions)
may be what you are seeking.

PS This shows that an 'incubator' site would be useful - this stuff is in use and under active refinement. It may even be in review queue. But will always benefit from more users - like you ;-)
Even more, this already has been reviewed and accepted. But the author disappeared *sigh*. Regards Hartmut ------------------- Meet me at BoostCon http://boostcon.com
