Oh, I think I understand now, why you were asking about algorithms. You really did want something whose intermediate results all fit in 16 bits. Even if your C compiler doesn't support a long int datatype, it may have some library functions to do long arithmetic. Look for functions with names like lmul, ldiv, etc. Will the decimal digit strings always be 8 digits? If yes, there are probably a few math tricks you can use to do the hex conversion simply. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
