Hi,
Today I found I cannot calculate what is the octal form of 0xa04e.
First I thought xcalc should do the work, but it seems only deal with
decimal.
I have perl, tcsh, python interprater. It is likely that they are all
capable of this kind, but what are the commands for them? What's the most
convenient way?
How about: echo 0xa04e | awk '{printf %o\n,$1}'
Cheers,

Note that you must use capital letters for exadecimal numbers, lower case letters are variable names. See bc(1) manual page for more information.
