Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

hehe, thats quite cool, though, atleast i can make a reasonable guess at how big a hex number is, binary is just alittle too obscure!

Lets just say I took the easy way out and didn't right my own decimal to binary converter.  So if its wrong then PHP has a big ol error.

I got done writting a Roman Numerial converter, I just need to do some more research to deal with all the rules ( and to look up some more for characters > 1000 )

Orginally I was trying for hex but the function that puts the commas in was only leaving the number part.  Since I removed that it might work fine now.
