Hi Rich,

  I think that a slightly more extensive rewording is needed.  With the uploaded
patch the text in the 'Constants' section of the linker manual now reads:

  "As in C, the linker considers an integer beginning with `0' to be
   octal, and an integer beginning with `0x' or `0X' to be hexadecimal.
   Alternatively the linker accepts suffixes of `h' or `H' for
   hexadeciaml, `o' or `O' for octal, `b' or `B' for binary and `d' or `D'
   for decimal.  Any integer value without a prefix or a suffix is
   considered to be decimal.

   In addition, you can use the suffixes `K' and `M' to scale a
   constant by `1024' or `1024*1024' respectively.  For example, the
   following all refer to the same quantity:

     _fourk_1 = 4K;
     _fourk_2 = 4096;
     _fourk_3 = 0x1000;
     _fourk_4 = 10000o;

   Note - the `K' and `M' suffixes cannot be used in conjunction with
   the base suffixes mentioned above."

Are you happy with this ?

Cheers
  Nick
