Re: RE: [U2] Roman Numerals
I recall this in the D3 manual and wondered why would anyone have such a thing. A=123 PRINT OCONV(A,U0033) yields CXXIII I guess it was for incrementing chapters or some other formal/outline number sequences. I don't know what the maximum number is but OCONV(25000,U0033) yields M. 50,000 and 100,000 didn't work. My XIV cents.
