Bible Note: Excellent observation EdB! My experience programming in C (plus plus), Assembly/Machine Language, COBOL, FORTRAN, UNIX and other various forms of code have all confirmed the truth of your explanation on hexidecimal connotation! Any good compiler with an error message of "Hex 'such and such'" is a good 'confirmation' of this! :) Of course, all computers (all the way back to the very first 8088 chip) used hexdecimal connotation.. And all Intel computers now are an 'offshoot' or descendant of this chip. Excellent post EdB! --Nolan |
