: I had the same problem myself about 3 years ago and this
: worked fine: do all your arithmetic in decimal, converting
: into/out of hex values as required.

VBScript is quite capable of performing arithmetic operations on hex values
directly, obviating the need to convert to decimal.

<%
Response.Write(&H20 + &HA)
%>

(for example)

There is also a very efficient formula for converting hex -> decimal that a
maths major once gave me - I'll need to dig it out though, if you do need
the final result in decimal.
