Hey, sometimes I still have to program in binary, octal, decimal, and hex, all in the same program!
Some old Allen Bradley stuff used all 4 bases at once - octal addressing, binary commands like shift right, decimal for some real and integer operations, and hex for higher-level commands. Eeeeesh!- #190
