How to get the BIOS serial #

How can I get the BIOS Serial No. of the machine running my Delphi 5.0 programs?

By the way: is really this number UNIQUE to each PC?

 Hi, my friend send me a message one months ago to look in Linux source code for this problem.
     I too want to get BIOS Serial Number. In my project I use CBDetect.com and I receive information about bios in file.

ShellExecute(BiosForm.Handle, 'Open','cbdet.com','-q detect','.', SW_HIDE);
Sleep(2500);
Memo1.Lines.LoadFromFile('detect.txt');
DeleteFile('detect.txt');

If its OK for you I send you cbdet.com. Its work with Award Bios.

I think that BIOS Serial number is not UNIQUE to each PC, computer with identical motherboard and BIOS have identical number.
