I got the following function which I enhanced from a previous posting with
some help from members of this list. How do you get help to display the
comments for the refinements.

dec2bin: func[
"Converts Based 10 Integers to Binary"
dn [integer!] "Base 10 Integer"
/local holder neghold
/pad+ zr+ [string!] "Add String to beginning of Output value"
/pad- zr- [string!] "Add String to tail of Output value"
/rev "Reverses the normal output of the value"][
holder: make string! ""
if dn = 0 [holder: "0"]
if negative? dn [
dn: absolute dn
neghold: 1]
while [dn / 2 <> 0][
either dn // 2 > 0 [insert holder 1][insert holder 0]
dn: to-integer dn / 2
]
if rev [reverse holder]
if pad+ [insert head holder zr+]
if pad- [insert tail holder zr-]
if neghold = 1 [return join "-" holder]
return holder
]
