SUBJECT """"""" $VER: Variator.doc 2.0 (13.03.1997) Copyright 1991, 1997 by Dalibor Kezele WARNING """"""" I'm not responsible if Variator causes any damage to your disks, your programs or your data. I wrote this piece of code simply because I needed it and I decided to put it into public together with source code. I'm pretty sure that it hasn't "BURN_YOUR_CPU" code included, but if something happens - don't blame me. UTILITY """"""" Variator is very simply utility. It is made to translate numbers from one numeric base to another. Very useful for programers, but also for other users. Small and clear, it is ideal for running as a background process. Variator converts numbers up to 32. bit. Translated to "normal" language it would mean that the maximum number is % 11111111111111111111111111111111 (binar) & 377777777777 (octal) 4294967295 (decimal) h FFFFFFFF (hexadecimal) Entering a wrong character (e.g. "A" in octal base) or a number biger than mentioned limit would display an error. I really don't have to explain how to use Variator. If you know Workbench you'll know Variator, also. Yet, I coded small Help window into it. Just click onto "Help" gadget or press .

Unfortunatelly, I have Amiga 500 with "obsolete" OS in ROM and soft 2.04 and I'm not able to use all those magnificant debuging tools.
