You could see if uuidgen is available, and if not, fallback to an online uuid generator: http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen
Sending a post request to that URL shouldn't be too hard. And you can extract the UUID from the first <h3> element on the page. I would separate the code responsible for extraction for retrieval, that way if the page format, url, or post vars change, it will be easy to update. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carsten Dominik Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 9:12 AM To: emacs org-mode mailing list Subject: [Orgmode] Question to windows users Hi Windows users, is the command uuidgen usually available under windows? I am considering to make this the default for ID generation because it works on the Mac and under GNU/Linux. But I would like to have a default that works on all systems....
