I took a look, underneath it's pretty much the same as the routines we
posted.
In any case it doesn't address the issue Bengt was refering to either,
for which I agree could be improved in Python. For example my hp
calculator displays base two's compliment for negative binary, octs, and
hex numbers, and displays -value for decimal numbers. I think this is
what he wants along with a prefix to indicate the base.
Cheers,
Ron
