The Handy-Dandy Number Conversion Utility -- Version 0.99beta
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. What it Does
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a little something I whipped up out of boredom over the Easter 1990
weekend. It's a handy utility that converts numbers as follows:
1) FROM DECIMAL to any number base
2) FROM ANY number base to decimal
3. Operation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using HDNCU couldn't be easier. Just run the program from the MS-DOS command
line. You'll be prompted from there.
4. Legal Crap
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This version of HDNCU is released into the public domain. Therefore, the
usual public domain legalese applies to this version and all files within
the distribution archive. In other words:
A. The program is only guaranteed to take up space on your hard disk
drive;
B. If you break it, then you own both pieces; and
C. If your lawyer wants to get ahold of me, I died 6 months ago.
If you'd like a fully supported version of HDNCU (which won't contain the
"register me" commercial), send $10 (or $5.00 and a 360k diskette) to:
Polar Bear Heaven Software
c/o Box 568
CHURCHILL, Manitoba

5. Acknowledgements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HDNCU was programmed using QuickBASIC Version 4.5 (c) MicroSoft Corporation.
Many of the number crunching and screen functions come from the Advanced
BASIC Function Library (ADVBAS) Version 99B (c) Thoms G. Hanlin III. If
you're into programming with QuickBASIC, I highly recommend ADVBAS as a
real powerful, full-featured functions library.
Special thanks to Frank Cox for all high support and advice over the past
number of years. Frank help straighten out many miles of spagetti code I
had written, and has been patient when I wasn't.
6. Revision History
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0.99b (14/04/90) Original shareware release. Not fully functional (e.g.
only recognizes numbers, so don't try to convert AE hex).
The registered version will have this fixed.
