What would this be in Rev?

[Bill Vlahos]

Sorry I wasn't clear. These are snippets of code which I believe is  
from C (I don't actually know). They are part of a key generation  
system so the comments about encoding and then decoding in the  
snippets of code are correct. I'm trying to encode a license key and  
then decode it later.

I can translate the rest of the code syntax not presented but I had  
trouble with the lines I gave in the original email.
