• UUID into XUID

    From news@zzo38computer.org.invalid@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 21 17:04:35 2019
    In PostScript some things can be identified by a "XUID" which is an array
    of integers. Is there a standard way to convert a UUID into a XUID? I may
    wish to use such a thing but am not registered with Adobe, and would want
    to use the UUID system to make up the ID numbers instead.

    If not, one possibility to make up such a thing would be to assign some
    number as the first element to indicate that it is a UUID, and then the
    next four elements are the 32-bit integers formed from the UUID (perhaps,
    the first octet of the UUID could be the high octet of the second element
    of the array, and the last octet of the UUID could be the low octet of the
    last element of the array).
