I figured it out! Thx again for the pointer, Steven. I don't know if what I came up with is the BEST solution, but it's running sub-10ms conversions. Good enough for what I gotta get done, and the smallish amount of programming knowledge I have. A great thanks to Jim Kahl ( http://nic2000.com/james/ ) for his unwitting assistance in this one - he wrote it as a VB prog, but it made a sweet translation to CFScript.
