Well, I need to create BMP files with unique name, to be sent to lpr, then printed. Instead of using GetTempFileName, I'll use a GUID, with CreateGUID, and GUIDToString.

Ramé: Hi, if I run this program from command line in Linux, I allways get the same result, "/tmp/TMP00000.tmp". Shouldn't it return a different file name each time it's executed?. How can I get different file names? program tempfilename; uses sysutils; begin writeln(GetTempFileName); end. Did you delete the file after the run of your program? GetTempFileName always starts from 0 and checks whether that file already exists. If not, it returns that name else it continues increasing the index. That's a security risk, because it is very easy to know what will be the file name. It should return random name that does not exists on a random length (that the developer chooses).
