Base is a CLI command usefull to programmers, for integer conversion
between Decimal,Hexidecimal,Octal and Binary number bases. Base also converts
keyboard characters to ASCII decimals (also Hex and Oct) and vice versa.

Information is displayed on how to include Hex and Oct numbers in AmigaBasic,
Amos and Amiga C code.

Base is written in C and compiled on NorthC ver 1.3, and compressed into an
executable file ( 7.772k ) using powerpacker ver 2.3b.

Base is shareware, for £4 you will be registered, receive updates and any new
programs I may write. Comments, registration fee and bugs to:-

The program has been fully tested on the A-500 and A-500 plus. Although I
have tested the program to destruction I do not accept any responsibility
for the consequencs of its use.
               
     Command syntax:

                   1.>    BASE <argument1> <argument2>

( commmand and arguments are not case sensative - not applicable to 'ASC'
conversion )
               
     Argument 1: (one of nine options) ( 12 actual conversions )
            
                   D2H  (decimal to hexidecimal)
                   D2O  (decimal to octal)
                   D2B  (decimal to binary)
                   H2D  (hexidecimal to decimal)
                   O2D  (octal to decimal)
                   B2D  (binary to decimal)
                   B2H  (binary to hexidecimal and octal)
                   ASC  (keyboard character to ASCII decimal(also hex & oct)
                   A2C  (ascii to character) 

     Argument 2:   integer value.
                   valid symbols:-  A-F(or a-f), 0-9 
                                   

     Limits: values between 0 - 2147483646
