BandB Library v1.2; creates BITS and BYTES unit objects.

This is the complete documentation of the library BandB version 1.2.
The ID of this libarary is 1673 and the title reads `BandB 1.2 Bits & Bytes`
The command `AboutBandB` should display the following screen:
BandB 1.2 Bits & Bytes
created 09/20/91 14:06
by Klaus Kalb
this is Public Domain
and return the version identification string "1.2" to level 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The command `B&B' creates a temporary menu in which the defined units are
available in the same way as in the build-in units-menus.
1_Bit implemented as 1_?, the standard unit for purposes like this.
Don't call the units objects directly, use the menu supplied
by the 'B&B' command instead.
These are the defined units:
1_bit == 1_?
1_KBit == 1024_Bit
1_Byte == 8_Bit
1_KByte == 1024_Byte
1_MByte == 1024_KByte
1_GByte == 1024_MByte
1_Block == 512_Bytes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many times I find myself sitting in front of an computer
trying to figure out how many disks blocks (512 Bytes each) are
needed to make up a 10 Meg partition. This library is designed
to put an end to this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This libary provides Bits and Bytes as unit objects for the HP48.
Since multiples of these are defined in steps of 1024 instead
of steps of 1000, the units KBit, KByte, MByte and GByte are
supplied as well.
