   While Derive doesn't know about Roman numerals, it allows number input   
   and output to be set to any of the four bases Binary, Octal, Decimal,   
   and Hexadecimal. With InputBase := Decimal and OutputBase := Octal, for   
   example, a number entered as 1000000 is displayed as 3641100, and copied   
   back into the input field, it reads 1000000 again. Wow!   
      
   I don't see why Roman numerals couldn't be handled in the same manner,   
   but I doubt that it would it be worth the effort.
