yeah it was - but of course I really wanted the next 2 digits as well....
I'm hoping to make more than 100 units really! pardon me for
over-simplifying my question.

I wonder if it would be useful/helpful to allow the user to optionally
over-ride the number base for reading and separately for writing by
setexpr.

That would extend it's usefulness without requiring an extra command or
breaking any existing code

say 

setenv setexpr_in  10 
setenv setexpr_out 16
 
If I wrote a patch would you look favourably on it?
