I haven't done it myself but mac doesn't have GUIDs per se, they are known as UUIDs. They are handled in Core Foundation, by the CFUUID library. The function to create one is CFUUIDCreate<http://Developer.Apple.Com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFUUIDRef/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/CFUUIDCreate>. There are a number of responses in this stack overflow thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/291868/is-there-a-method-to-generate-a-standard-128bit-guid-uuid-on-the-mac. NOt seen anything that says how you can access the MAC code from J though.
