RE: [Re: %CHAR BIF]

[Colin Thorpe <Colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the %EDITC tip

Perhaps I should have looked at the manual a little more closely:-)

Yes Frank the 'MOVE' opcode does do this, but means declaring extra
variables etc
The BIF solution keeps the code neater..IMO

        Would it not be because you can use MOVE to covert NUM to CHAR.
