Hmmm... If I provide "00000101" as input, it returns 0?

I had (erroneously, maybe) taken the question as "convert binary-coded decimal to decimal". Sorry for the noise. I used this occasion to emphasize something not widely known: AppleScript conforms quite strictly IEEE when storing numbers (integers and real numbers) in files.

If someone is interested, I think Satimage-software's site proposes one of the most relevant pages on that topic: <http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/as_data_files.html>
