And now please describe you problem a little better. ;-)

I'll try.

first of all python is not going to be used for my purpose (sigh)

I have device A which holds a binary coded decimal array [N1,N2,....Nn]
where the array represents a decimal number.

In C: unsigned char dec[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};

I need that array converted for device B into an array where each element
represents the actual byte value.

In C: the result would be unsigned char hex[] = {0x1,0x2,0xD,0x6,0x8,0x7};

I guess any pocket calculator goes through that process for dec/hex
conversion.

Hope that's clearer.

Not really. Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I don't see the link
between your `dec` and `hex` values. 12345678 converted to hex is
bc614e. Do you need such a conversion? And should the result really be
one nibble (4 bit)/hex digit per array entry!?
