Re: [office-comment] BASE(): support two's complement negativebinary numbers

From:

8 bit two's complement number equivalent to -1 is 0xFF, but if that is a 16 bit 
number, then that is 255.

BASE() has an optional parameter:
'Integer MinimumLength'
that can be used to specify the bit size of the machine word for negative 
numbers.
