Re: Converting Binary to Decimal - holy war alert

In that case, would you please deliver to me A_Billion_Dollars?  I don't care
which billion dollars you deliver.

The point I was trying to get across was that unless something is explicitly
shown as a type, it tends to look like a variable.  That's why I use the
convention
"_type" post-pended to my type definitions, and that's what I was recommending
for his use, too.  It's pretty hard to confuse "A_Dog_Type" with an actual
instance
of the type, and try to feed it or something.

So, when do you think you can deliver the money?
