									Public Shared Function ASCIIToOctal(str As String) As String
	Dim oct As String = String.Empty

	For i As Integer = 0 To str.Length - 1
		Dim cOct As String = DecimalToOctal(AscW(str(i)))

		If cOct.Length < 3 Then
			cOct = cOct.PadLeft(3, "0"c)
		End If

		oct += cOct
	Next

	Return oct
End Function

Private Shared Function DecimalToOctal(dec As Integer) As String
	If dec < 1 Then Return "0"

	Dim octStr As String = String.Empty

	While dec > 0
		octStr = octStr.Insert(0, (dec Mod 8).ToString())
		dec = Int(dec / 8)
	End While

	Return octStr
End Function
