%% The above example fails to compile when there is no tuc file, %% complaining of a missing number in line 4. When lines 4 %% and 5 are removed and the file is compiled, producing %% a .tuc file, and then they are restored, the example %% compiles without error. The effect of having or not having %% an associated .tuc file does seem a bit odd.
Surely there is a way to get the number from a label reference that can then be converted to a numeral of choice.

(A year later) Is there still no way to do this without resorting to the .tuc-file gimmick? The need is to take a label reference number and display it under a different numberconversion regime. -- Rik
