Hi all,
     this is a pest and I can live with it.  My preference is to have
cout in dec at every call and only stream through hex when explicitly
called.  As some one who is involved in applications close to the
hardware I need hex.  I must wonder what this will do to many of the
libs and class libs.

        Regards Ian.
