It's quite actively developed actually, the last patch was sent only in

toke merely defaults to decimal whereas openbios defaults to hex.

You can get one or the other by using the word "hex" or "decimal" in
your code before using any numbers. This is strongly recommended in
order to keep code portable.

Now, the question is: should we change the default to "hex" in toke?
