Here are a suite of hexadecimal to/from decimal conversion routines. These have been used in an application, so there should not be any errors, I trust.

These routines provide the following functions: Decimal to hex - 32 bit. Decimal to hex - 16 bit. Hex to decimal - unsigned 63 bit on 32bit Windows Tcl install. Hex to decimal - unsigned 32 bit. Hex to decimal - unsigned 16 bit. Hex to decimal - signed 16 bit.
