Hi Chris. I'm a starter for attending the workshop that you have proposed for on the second Saturday of this month - 12th Nov. With regard to the problem I had with 64-Bit Libreoffice BASIC doing HEX commands I have posted it at... https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42492 Bug 42492 - BASIC HEX command on 64-bit systems not returning 16 characters on negative long integer. cheers, Ian.
