Number Convert 1.0  ©1991 Gary Brusanowski
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a programmer, do you ever say to yourself, "Self, why don't
you get yer arse in gear and write a little utility to convert
numbers into the four most common bases, Decimal, Hex, Octal and
Binary, because you know you need one and firing up programmer's
calculators all the time just to find out what 12756 in hex is,
is just too much program for what I want to do" ?

Sure you do.

Well, I've done it for you.

This little trinket was originally designed for my own use, but I
thought, what the hell, I could use the upload credit. :)

Besides, I wanted to see if I could write a useful, bug-free
utility that's compatible with Workbench 2.0 as well as 1.3, in
under 3 hours.

Ta-Da!

It's pretty self explanatory. Just press "Help" if you need to
know more.
By the way, two things are not documented in the Help screen.
"Alt q" will quit the program, the same way clicking the close
gadget will.
"Alt s" will save where exactly the program's window is on your
Workbench to a config file in your s: directory, called
"NumConvert.cfg". Why would you want to do this? Because. If you
use this program alot, you probably use it with other Workbench
programs and it's just REAL handy if it pops up in the last place
you had it. All WB utilities should be this smart.
If you don't want ANOTHER .cfg file cluttering up your s:
directory, DON'T SAVE IT!

That's about it. This program is totally freeware and you can
give it to your Grandma for Christmas for all I care. There will
be no updates and no support for it.

If you want to send me $10, that's your business. I'd rather you
bought one of my commercial font conversion programs instead,
though. That's MY business! :)

This program was written in 100% GFA Basic (v3.51).
