   I could see an 8 digit decimal number wasn't going to be equivalent to the hex   
   one.  Didn't need to convert to see that. :)

   There was the implication of the leading digit of the DOS output being E, which   
   an 8 digit decimal number couldn't possibly achieve.  Just talking some   
   shortcuts based on logic and the available data. :)
