Yep, I remembered correctly: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8328814 Thank you Google - that's ridiculous and arbitrary and stupid, and not documented, you just are assumed to know this. So while I agree with you, Linus, that hex would be so much smarter, I still think that it makes more sense to use the same representation everywhere. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
