perhaps the simple pack() example can be left in, but down
in the bin to dec section right above the following example
which is a bit more complicated:

what's with the substr? i tried this a few places with and without
the substr and always got the same answer. is this a portability
issue (and why doesn't the N format handle that)? maybe i'm missing
something because i do not do this sort of thing a lot.
other than that i like it :).
