On a date/time in the near or far past, I received an email from Joe Lewis

Nah, it was just a quickie program I thought I'd plug in to my CGI Framework
on a lark. (The original program posted by Jay didn't either...) I did fix
it so it only accepts input between 0 and 3389, the range of the original
program. No filtering for non-numeric characters, it just takes the VAL() of
whatever ascii string comes through. That's why 1,234,567 was converted to
Roman Numeral I because the VAL("1,234,567") = 1.
