Yep,

Pretty much the same with the one liner I made from John's character rasterization program ... just remove the line number "1" in front and it will still run from interactive mode. But I think your infinite loop is 2 characters shorter than mine! I used STEP0 which take 5 bytes where you used Z=0 which only takes three! I'll have to remember that one.

I need to get a quantum computer next ... I hear they can execute an infinite loop in three seconds flat. ;-)

thanks Ken,
Not exactly new work, but it always bothered me that I had to use a line number before. so not really a "one liner". The use of a never ending for loop solved that!

    Hey Steve,

    I had seen this submission before but never really tried to run it
    or evaluate how it is working until now.  This is an awesome piece
    of algorithmic work for switching between and calculating /
    formatting output for three different bases in only 254 characters!!

    Pretty sweet.

    Ken
