: Does this mean that you can't use _ in numbers if the radix is : higher than 16? (For example, in base 20, the letters A-J should be : considered to be digits...can you put underscores between them?) I didn't say that higher letters couldn't be "digits" in higher radixes. : Also, on this subject...what happens if I want to use "letter notation" : in a base higher than 36? What happens then is that people will think you're silly. :-) Larry
