I can't even get this as a string. I have got a drastically overhauled version of this stuff kicking around somewhere.. one of the key changes was to hang onto the ascii and defer typing until it was requested by the caller. Ie: if you asked for an int, you would get an int represenation. Ask for a string and it would give you the string (even if it looked like an int to the resource functions). Adding a quad form to that would be trivial. I will see if I can find it again..
