Preface
~~~~~~~
ValCon
is a program to convert a value from one number system to
another. The following number systems are supported :
- decimal
- hexadecimal
- binary
- octal
ValCon
is reentrant, so it can be made resident.
System Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ValCon
requires AmigaDOS v1.2 or higher.
Program Usage
(Shell/CLI only)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FORMAT : <[|H|B|O]value> [DEC] [HEX] [BIN] [OCT] [RETURN]
ValCon v1.10 User Manual - Page 1
[VERSION]
o
ValCon arguments
:
("?" gets the program format.)
<[|H|B|O]value> : the value to convert can be given in all the
supported number systems. To indicate in which
number system the value is given, you have to
preceed the value by one of the following
identifiers : - '', 'd' or 'D' : decimal;
- 'h' or 'H' : hexadecimal;
- 'b' or 'B' : binary;
- 'o' or 'O' : octal.
| E.g. 'ValCon hA100' results in :
| Hex: A100
| -> Dec: 41216
| -> Bin: 1010000100000000
| -> Oct: 120400
NOTE : by default,
ValCon
will convert the value in the other
three number systems, unless you use the following four
options.
[DEC] : give the value as a decimal value.
[HEX] : give the value as a hexadecimal value.
[BIN] : give the value as a binary value.
[OCT] : give the value as an octal value.
[RETURN] : output the converted value, as a single value.
E.g. 'Valcon 250 HEX RETURN' will output only
'FA'.
[VERSION] : print the program's copyright and version.
