See which character each of the eight bytes in those numbers corresponds
too.  Assuming that's what you were asking...

ben@magnesium:~/tmp$ cat t.c
#include <unistd.h>

int
main(void) {
        long long a =3D 22322600044678729LL, b =3D 22322600044678990LL;

        write(1, &a, sizeof a);
        write(1, &b, sizeof b);
        return (0);
}
ben@magnesium:~/tmp$ cc -Wall t.c
ben@magnesium:~/tmp$ ./a.out | hd
00000000  49 4e 20 56 49 4e 4f 00  4e 4f 20 56 49 4e 4f 00  |IN VINO.NO VIN=
O.|
00000010

ok, who's going to give me the Perl one-liner to do that?  It would
probably involve pack/unpack which I've never got on well with.
