Are we done with octal? I've been done by octal too many times :) I hate that most programming languages insist on interpreting numbers with leading xeros as octal. Personally, I've never seen any utility in octal that wasn't better served by hex. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

Using octal for 16-bit values is that it isolates bit 15 nicely. `FFFF(hex) = 177777(oct) 8000(hex) = 100000(oct) 7FFF(hex) = 077777(oct) 0000(hex) = 000000(oct)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
