hehe, okie, just so long as you realize that they don''t necessarily have to have the same value. They just happen to have the same value because the people who designed the thing were too lazy to give them different values.

Personally I''ve always thought it would have been SO much easier if they hadn''t made 0x00 the termination char, and had instead put the numbers in the first 10 slots so you wouldn''t have to do the conversion... if you do a lot of work in assembly with ascii output for math routines, you''ll get really sick of constantly using 0x30.
