G'day

A Simple question:

How does one translate hexadecimal ascii strings to a value in Euphoria ?

Is there a library function I have overlooked ? Has someone done this before,
or should I tackle this from first principles ?


I am programming a Euphorian routine that converts DECnet address's to
Physical address, and visa versa. I have previously written this in DCL for
OpenVMS. DCL is the Digital Command Language. (Is this the first DCL to
Euphoria port ?). DECnet BTW is a network protocol, much like
TCP/IP but nicer  .

I have the DECnet to Ethernet translation working, but for the reverse, I
require to convert an incoming Hex string (Entered by the user) to a value.
