Sun 27-Sep-92: I have updated what was my number base calculation
programs package:
BASE.EXE Convert from one base to another
BC.EXE Base calculations (+-* and or..)
Implemented /g## a switch into these programs to indicate that
the user wants the converted string spaced in groups of ## digits.
Implemented more operators (xor shl shr) to BC.EXE.
Added SCANCODE.EXE "Get key scan/ascii/status codes" redefining
the TSBASE package to be more generally "A programmer's tools base".
It is available as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsbase11.zip.
Added FILE_ID.DIZ "Brief characterization of TSBASE". Some BBS
systems scan for a FILE_ID.DIZ in uploaded packages and if found use
its contents as the description in their annotated file list.
Sun 16-Aug-92: Every now and then anyone who has much to do with
computers needs a quick program to convert a number or a range of
numbers from one base to another. My new BASE.EXE does just that.
The usage is simple: BASE FromBase ToBase Number [LastNumber]. The
file in contained in a new garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsbase10.zip
package.
The package also contains BC.EXE which performs calculations for
numbers in non-decimal bases. The operations include + - * div mod
and or.
