    It seems there's a difference between

    Factor *= 10*(256-b(3))

    and

    Factor *= 10^(256-b(3))

    I wish I could blame this snafu on someone else, but I can't.

        They are only different by one character, how bad could it be? ;) :laugh: Yeah, its the little hard to see details that really get you! :doh:

        Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

          Watch out, in some languages the ^ operator is XOR, instead of exponentiation - you still might not have it right!
