I use:
(*z)*24 60 20#:|z=._7384
_6 _9 _4
In words take absolute value before ANTIBASE, them multiply by sign of
argument.

Subject: [Jprogramming] Negative Antibase
Using BASE in both positive and negative applications worked just as I
imagined ....
24 60 20 #. 2 3 4
2464
24 60 20 #. -(2 3 4)
_2464
but when I tried the same thing with ANTIBASE I ran into a problem ..
24 60 20 #: 7384
6 9 4
24 60 20 #: _7384
17 50 16
Obviously I can test for negative and make a big production of the
conversion .. is there a simple solution?
I am looking for something similar to -(6 9 4)
Thanks
