I found this small program on a disk at the weekend.
Not being a programmer means that unable to assess how useful this would have been.

A practical program for day to day use?
Or just an interesting curiosity?

Programs like this are handy if you're learning programming and need a visual way of working out how Bin/Hex are related... though the windows Calculator is easier for most purposes.

I wrote a program a while back that does Bin/Dec/Hex and allows for various alterations to the values to be shown realtime... though these days I guess I should improve it to add octal support.

I use a program named SpeedCrunch which is quite nice for a lot of things, and incredibly useful for converting numbers between bases.

That reminds me those programs that were used to encode hexadecimal listings from magazines like Amsaisie from Amstrad Magazine and Micro Mag. I remember encoding the game Zone 2 with it. What a time to be alive :-)

I like the idea of entering the Binary Number, though I would love it even more if it took the Binary Number and Poke it into Memory and allow for storage for a Maze Style game. I was trying to do that with this code the other day, but wasn't producing the correct results when I was trying to calculate the High and Low Bytes from a 16bit Binary Number, grrr!  >:(
* Using the old Amstrad Languages :D   * with the Firmware :P
* I also like to problem solve code in BASIC :)   * And type-in Type-Ins! :D
