[Zope] how to display hex data ?

[Jose Soares]

Yes Dieter.
Seems this works but there is still a problem
your function returns only 9 digits insted of 16.

original data               data converted
==============    ===========
ec00000002000000   ec0002000
ec00000002000400   ec0002040
ec00000002000500   ec0002050
ec00000002000600   ec0002060
ec00000002000700   ec0002070
ec00000002000b00   ec00020b0

What can I do to change this behavior ?
Thank you.
