Fine. I can understand your situation. Just a minor note... Asking for others (free) help to save on ones own (highly valued ?) time, usualy isn't the best tactics when asking. It *can* make someones less willing to help... That said, I think that it will be hard to find a "math package" that does *excatly* what you need. Anyway, there have been a number of bin->ascii conv routines posted now. I'd take one of the 18-series specific ones and build from that. I have a 10-bit binary to packed BCD routine written for the 18-series that I could post (when I'm back from my current business trip in a few days). It was not build for speed, but rather for readability and to be easy to expand to more bits. Jan-Erik. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
