Here is one that uses plain vanilla Applescript; it's slower that
calling a shell script, though.

Not on my machine (G3 400 PowerBook, Jaguar, 12-digit input). 500
iterations of the conversion part of your code take 0.6 seconds (Joshua's
about the same), whereas 500 iterations of Gnarlodious's shell script
take 15 seconds. j

That was my ignorance of unix talking; it assumed that anything arcane and shorter would be faster. Silly me. <g>
