I am in the process of updating the mn program. The original purpose of it was to aid in working with alternate number systems and I didn't care that much about some of the incomplete and incorrect handling of things. The version I am working on is attempting to make it more complete and handle adverbs, conjunctions and user defined names better. And writing it has turned out to be a good learning tool for me. Give me a couple of more weeks and I'll update the WIKI. Or if you want I can send you the somewhat improved but incomplete version I have now.
