Third, you need to translate the hex from big-endian (least significant byte last) to little-endian (least significant byte first). You can do this with the `tac` command (or by hand if you prefer):
Third, you need to add a byte of `00` if the top digit is "8" or greater, so that it's not interpretted as a negative number.
