Subject: [vrf] Dec to Hex Byte to Dec
I am trying a very strange data type conversion that is necessary to
communicate with a piece of hardware. I need to go from Decimal form to
Hexadecimal Byte form and the back to Decimal.
Example; Dec=1979 --> Hex=7bb --> Byte=bb --> Dec=187
This can easily be done using Microsoft's Windows calculator. Anyone have
any suggestions for Vee? And why can't Alphanumeric displays have outputs,
it would solve my problem but it would help? Thanks.

what's wrong with 256*fracpart(a/256) ??
you're just stripping the lowest 8 bits, right?
