        	digit    weight        value
        	  1     8^2 = 64   1 64 = 64
        	  7     8^1 =  8   7  8 = 56
        	  7     8^0 =  1   7  1 =  7

        octal system used to be widespread back when many computers
        used 6-bit bytes, as a 6-bit byte can be conveniently
        written as a two-digit octal number.  since nowadays a byte is
        almost always 8-bit long the octal system lost most of its
        appeal to the hexadecimal system.
     
        for a brief discussion on the word `octal' see hexadecimal.
