1This is a module for doing integer arithmetic in arbitrary base
2representations. A representation, or "flex", is determined by
3what symbols you use for +, -, and the digits. The base that
4you are working in is the number of digits you use to represent
5your numbers. Given a flex it can do the following:
6
7 o Convert string representations of numbers to a convenient
8 internal form for calculations as needed.
9
10 o Convert from one internal representation to another,
11 transparently changing bases as required.
12
13 o Write the internal representation back to a string.
14
15 o Handle large integer arithmetic.
16
17A sample use would be to write 128 bit MD5 hashes using whatever
18set of characters you want.
