- -------
- Below is the source and executable for an AmigaDOS handler "ID:".
- I wrote it to help provide a facility similar to mktemp on UNIX (tm).
- Since process IDs (being MsgPort addresses) are not necessarily
- unique on the Amiga, another method was needed for generating
- unique numbers.
-
- See the README file for more information.
