The Hex values you print are equivalent to the $ decimal value you said you expected.  @ Converting to decimal ASCII instead of the hexadecimal ASCII is E another question.  I am still stuck in the 32-bit world so I haven't   had to deal with this.  E I note that you had declared something __int64 and then commented it  @ out and replaced it with a long.  Is 64-bit unsigned arithmetic G unavailable to you?  Does using printf ("%d", ( unsigned__int64) quad)  C not do what is desired?  If you are working on alpha, my DECC V5.7  @ manuals make me think that it should have worked.  Try #include 	 <ints.h>.   ? If not, my V7.1 manuals do not have something that will do the  C conversion for you.  You would have to hand code the conversion to  ? decimal, maybe using LIB$EDIV.

I upload my images taken from my Canon EOS 20D (which are F 3504x2336) from my Powerbook and process them with Imagemagick to makeG thumbnails and smaller (more browser friendly) images about 1280x854 in F size.  Imagemagick is also used to determine the orientation (portraitF or landscape) of the image and passes that into to the procedure whichG also composes the HTML for the page.  The result is something like this G at this URL: http://brave.tmesis.com/weekend_three/Sunday-A_Collection/   F XV doesn't lend itself to command procedure use.
