UUID Library

30.10.2006

This library for Universal Unique ID (also known as Global Unique ID, GUID) generation is based on the code that is published in the RFC 4122. It is completed with the code for the md5 hash algorithm published in RFC 1321.

The package contains the code assembled in a suitable directory structure with a Makefile for GNU-based development environments and a project file for MS Visual Studio (yes, sorry for that, folks).
