Implementation of https://github.com/ericelliott/cuid as a Livecode library.
A cuid is a portable and sequentially-ordered unique identifier designed for horizontal scalability and speed -- this version is ported from the reference implementation in Javascript.
In a Levure project just add it to app->libraries
If you're not using Levure you can load it just like any other standard library stack.
start using "cuid"
put cuid() into tCUID
