I'm writing a script which should duplicate certain INFO topics in an ESM file, and I need to generate INAMs for them. What is the way the CS generates them and what algorithm can I use for that?

The INFO record IDs are generated slightly differently than in TESCS in a manner which virtually guarantees that the ID is unique. The ID is an up to 30 digit number such as 610641915360541333977 with the following format:
Bytes 0- 9: Current system time in seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970
Bytes 10-19: Drive c: serial number (or clock ticks if serial number is not available)
Bytes 20-29: Incremented counter per application session starting at 1
Thus, it is highly unlikely that two people will ever generate the same INFO ID.

Sort of unrelated, but does anyone know how the ingame crafted item IDs are generated? (e.g. enchants/potions)
