Ruuid package
Sorry for the self-followup, but just a clarification ...
It's purpose is to generate UUID values, and has a simple R interface (currently one function: getuuid(), with multiple options).
For those that are not familiar, a UUID is a "Universally Unique ID", a value generated that is guaranteed unique until the year 3400. The algorithm uses the machine's MAC address/Token ID, the current time and random seeds and generates a 128 bit value. For those familiar with GUID's, these are the same thing. A draft of the UUID standard can be found at: http://lists.research.netsol.com/pipermail/urn-nid/2002-September/000323.html for more information. -J
