What formats of binary numbers are supported?
REBOL actually supports binary STRINGS. Of them, Base-2 (binary), base-16 (hexadecimal), and base-64 strings are possible. You can convert these strings to integers, for instance: 10 = to-integer 64#{AAAK} = to-integer 16#{0A} = to-integer 2#{0000 1010} You can turn an integer into a hexadecimal string with the TO-HEX function. Integer (base-10) to binary is currently supported up to 32-bit signed numbers. The range is from -2147483647 to +2147483647. Hex binaries must have an even number of digits, base-64 must have a multiple of 4 digits and base-2 must have a multiple of 8 digits. The binary datatype was included to assist in working with compressed data, image data (such as JPEGs), executables, etc. The default binary output format can be set in system/options/binary-base. Valid values are 2 (binary), 16 (hexadecimal) and 64 (base-64).
