Hehe, not since doing it with polynomials at university.

But since then I was messing about with writing an unlimited precision 
integer program, implementing the +,- and * by hand.  I dunno, it just 
seemed the obvious thing to do to put the LSB of the number in array 
position zero, putting the MSB in position zero would have made things quite 
awkward.
