Manual - English Version
Author: Michael Djavidan, 7.1.1990
DHB is a simple but useful programming-tool. It's only task is, to convert
Integers between decimal, hexadecimal and binary numbers very comfortable
and with low expense.
DHB was coded to 100% in assembler. Therefore the binary is very compact.
Because of being rather short too, I placed the Sourcecode in only one
modul. The program may be started from CLI or from Workbench. DHB knows no
parameters.
The files are:
- dhb.s The source
- dhb The binary
- dhb.info Info-file for Workbench start
- README.d The German Manual (It might be better...)
- README.e The English Manual
THE MENU
--------
... includes only one item:
Auto-Clear (on/off): If switched on (default), the input area of the
stringgadgets will be automatically cleared by
klicking on them.
THE STRINGGADGETS:
------------------
Four stringgadgets do the input/output of numbers:
Decimal-gadget (d): Possible characters:
0-9,
Space,
Sign (+,-);
Hexadecimal-gadget ($): Possible characters:
0-9,
A-F (a-f),
Space;
Binary-gadget (%): Possible characters:
Digits 0 and 1;
Space
ASCII-gadget (a): Possible characters:
All Chars;
This gadget only works
with bits 0-7 of the 32-bit-number.
THE BOOLGADGETS
---------------
(from left to right:)
Left-shift («): Independent from the BWL-Gadget, the whole
32-bit-number is shifted one Position to the left.
This means the same as: "lsl.l #1,...".
Right-Shift (»): The same as above but to the right side.
This means the same as: "lsr.l #1,...".
BWL-Gadget (B,W,L): This Gadget switches the shown width of the number.
'B'yte (8 Bit) -> 0-255
'W'ort (16 Bit) -> 0-65535
'L'ong (32 Bit) -> 0-4294967295
Sign-Gadget (+,±): This Gadget switches between signed- or unsigned
display.
- '+' -> unsigned
- '±' -> signed
It only affects the decimal display.
But nevertheless you may do a signed decimal Input.
ERROR MESSAGES
--------------
- Invalid Character: Couldn't convert the number;
Wrong character in input-area;
- Overflow: At dezimal input, value was out of Range;
(Greater than 4294967295)
ENVIRONMENT
-----------

Kickstart: V1.2

I hope you'll find DHB useful...
