I should try to be more comatose next time when I read mails. I don't exactly pride myself on my programming skills either. (^_^;;;) > I'm not sure how you got your system of "3 x 28 + 4". You take the base > and multiply it by the number in the column. Like this: It's the same. "3 x 28^1 + 4 x 28^0". Simplify it you get 3*28+4. But that's the DEC value for BASE28 34. > If you think about it, you can't have a number higher than your base. So > you can't have a 6 in a base 4 system. My point. BASE4 34 doesn't not exist, although if it did it would be DEC 16. -- +------------------------+-------------------------+ | AMOUR VINCIT OMNIA | Love Conquers All | | AMOUR REGIT OMNIA | Love Rules Over All | +------------------------+-------------------------+ | Lin Jie Derek | | sakursta@singnet.com.sg | +--------------------------------------------------+
