Would you be up for the release of the binary executable (Windows) used to get responses?
if you obfuscate the source, sure.
i don't trust myself not to cheat.
(can you even view source of an exe? probably not, now that i think about it)

Having used snowman to decompile to C source myself, I can say that you probably won't get much out of it.
Go wild! Please post results.

It doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've tried running it from the command line and I'm not getting anything, even if I put in the number as an argument.

Hmm.
I've gotten the application to stop responding (as in crash) after inputting AB and 123456789ABCDEF0, but that's the closest it's come to working.
(even for numbers like AA or 0.7734 that I know should have an output)

Did it specifically do a NUMCHOOSE.EXE HAS ENCOUNTERED A FATAL ERROR or did it just keep running? If you can Ctrl-C out of it it should have been fine, you might have just encountered an infinite loop

It just kept running until Windows marked it as not responding, seemed like an infinite/overlong loop to me.

Mhm, that'd be an infinite loop.
I can think of a few instances where it would crash, but it would tell you (since those are expected cases).
Any progress, findings of note?
