So I wrote user RPN programs to change 10, 11,... to A, B,... and vice versa when going the other way.

My programs slow down the conversion, but overall it works nicely, with 314 159 265 358 979 323 846 264 converted to {4 2 8 6 9 B 9 F 5 C D D F B E A D E 7 8} in a little under 3 seconds.

The next to last example under I\->BL should be exactly what you want, and is much faster than the UserRPL equivalent. If you want a list of characters rather than a string, follow with S\->SL. The program to convert in the other direction is simple, all the commands have inverses.
