Yeah, I know, sorry. I guess I just assumed that Ra=FAl had already tried
%d. :(

Anyways, basebag should be on my site Friday. I'll post to the mailing
list again if it is. I wouldn't want anybody looking for something that
isn't on my site.

Basebag goes one better than sprintf, by being able to cope with any base
you throw at it [2 <=3D base <=3D 36 that is :) ]
IIRC, sprintf can only do decimal and "hex" [or can it do octal too?=20
No docs where I am :( ]

PS For those who can't read iso8859-1, the =FA character is a "u'"
combination i.e. an accented "u".
