Re: Photuris // Variable-Precision numbers
May I suggest that you use ASN.1 encoding for the multiprecision integers?
This is a standard that is in use (by SNMP) and has both commercial and
public domain software libraries available. The only extra overhead is
one leading byte for the data type field, otherwise it is the same thing
as you and Ron are discussing, with a length field followed by the integer
(data).
