"int" on PalmOS is 16-bits, so that's 4 hex characters. Change the "int"
types to "long", and you should be able to get all 32-bits. Here it is with
the changes already made:
long StrHexToInt(const char* pszHex)
{
long nResult = 0;
for (int i = 0; *pszHex && (i < (sizeof(long) << 1)); i++)
{
nResult <<= 4;
char c = *pszHex++;
if ((c & 0xF0) == 0x30)
nResult |= (c & 0x0F);
else
nResult |= ((c & 0x0F) + 9);
}
return (nResult);
}
