That has always frustrated me because we dealt with hex at work all the
time, and the hex values I see on an FTN do *not* equal what we used at
work.  Granted, ours were *usually* EBCDIC but even the ASCII values are
not "right."

How did you do it on a calculator?  That might be handy to know.

Yes it does.
