Hi -

Deborah May writes:

Just one comment to add to Chris' response - the draft you are
referring to is on the web at:
www.opengroup.org/dce/info/draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt
It did expire, however this page points you to two references for
UUID/GUID definitions, one of which is the DCE RPC Specification
Chris provided a pointer to.

<<<<

The second reference on that page is to:

                ISO/IEC 11578:1996
                Information technology --
                Open Systems Interconnection -- Remote Procedure Call
                http://www.iso.ch/cate/d2229.html 

which I think answers Paul's question.

Thanks, Deborah!

The DCE RPC spec, and hence the UUID specification, was later incoroporated
into an ISO RPC standard. Do you have a citation for that?
