If you have an earlier than 1.2 version of TSBITS, please note that
the .exe files replace the earlier .com files with the same name.
(If you have an .exe and a .com file with the same name on the same
directory, the outdated .com file is executed.) The .exe versions
have been compiled with Turbo Pascal 4.0 and 5.0 (later with 7.0),
and the range of integers that BITWISE and FACTORS can handle was
been greatly extended. Note that while (some) .com programs can be
aborted by pressing ctrl+c, .exe programs can be halted with
ctrl+break.
BITWISE.EXE (Ver 2.3a)
Performs bit operations on decimal integers giving the results both
in binary and decimal.
Release notes. Version 2.3: Line editing and input recall now possible.
CONVBASE.EXE (Ver 2.5a)
Converts (also large, that is longint) non-negative integer values
from one base to another. The base can be from 2 to 32. The
converted values are spaced (since version 2.2) for better
readability. The spacing depends on the base.
Release notes: Version 2.5: The default base which is given by
pressing the enter (return) key is now changed every time a new base
is entered. This makes repeated operations much more convenient. -
The acceptable bases have been extended from 32 to 36. - In entering
the value to be converted, input recall and line editing is now
available. Enter ? at the VALUE query for the help on the available
keys. - The check for illegal digits did not catch the ascii
characters from : to >. This has been remedied.
FACTORS.EXE (Ver 2.3a)
Optionally finds factors of integers, largest common divisors, and
smallest common dividees. Be warned that finding the factors of the
new (since 1.2) large integers (such as 999999999) takes quite
awhile. If you wonder what this means, it is simply that this
program was originally a Turbo Pascal 3.02A program (and a QL
Computer One pascal program even before that). Turbo Pascal 3
integers were limited to an upper bound of 32767, and it was version
4.0 that introduced long integers into Turbo Pascal.
BINTODEC.EXE, DECTOBIN.EXE, DECTOHEX.EXE, HEXTODEC.EXE.
The command-like programs can be used instead of CONVBASE for the
most common conversions. Usage e.g. BINTODEC BinaryValue.
COMDIV (Ver. 1.02)
Calculates the largest common divisor of two integers.
