If you'd like to get really fancy with UUIDs, download my free QSW_UUID
Cocoa framework at <
http://www.quecheesoftware.com/downloads.html>.
It does a few things that Apple's Core Foundation functions don't. It may be
overkill, but the documentation tells you (more than you ever wanted to
know) about UUIDs, and you can judge for yourself.
I wrote the framework for fun, to serve the same purpose for which you seek
a unique ID.
