Ron,
Since I only know English, I didn't know that 033x is valid in other
languages. Actually, I took French in High School, but I couldn't speak
much French then, and much less now.
I got one off list reply saying that 033x was the way to represent the
number in Octal.
When I made my original post on this subject, I actually thought that the
number was in hex because of the reply that I quoted. When I saw the post
that I quoted, I wasn't sure, although I gathered it was hex. Although from
my previous paragraph here, maybe it's Octal. Is there a consensus on this?

Eric,
033x is a perfectly valid hex literal in some languages.
