Message: [QUOTE="Henry Law, post: 4761035"] I suppose "88888" would be valid in any number system beyond base-8; but this is a perl newsgroup, not one for number theory. For the most part the people here are dealing with real-world problems, in which the chance of "88888" being anything other than decimal - unless we're told otherwise - is effectively zero. Hmm. Must look at how this newsreader does kill files. I feel the need of a new entry in the "P" section. Henry Law <>< Manchester, England [/QUOTE]
