 Most of what I use the calculator on my desk for it converting decimal
 to hex and vice versa. Fidonet technology, when passing files back and
 forth, uses the hex representation of the decimal network and node
 number for file names, and figuring out which file goes to who can be
 tricky.

 Although, Synchronet's echocfg utility, where you define nodes, now
 displays the net/node number in hex. Handy!
