hmm, not looking at the patch in detail yet I am not sure if a length of 
16 is sensible, if the size of the type for the hex output is 2 
(integer) or 4 bytes (long) I would expect the max display from HEX to 
be  FFFF or FFFFFFFF respectively :/ I'd like to see what MS vba does 
here, we should try to remain compatible if possible.
