Base Converter

--------------

This is a little Workbench utility that lets you convert

numbers between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal. Sim-

ply enter a number in one of the string gadgets, press the

Return key, and the other three will be updated.

When no gadget is currently active, you can activate one by

pressing the first key in the gadget's label, fx. 'd' for

decimal.

Using the settings menu, you can choose, for each base,

whether the current number should be displayed as a signed

or unsigned value.

When you save your settings, the size and position of the

window is saved as well.

The program was designed for Kickstart 1.2/1.3, but runs

cleanly on later releases, and when doing so will take ad-

vantage of certain features, such as tab cycling, input fil-

tering and new look menus. You can also specify the public

screen upon which you want the utility to appear, and it

will use the font of whatever screen on which it is running.

The program can also be localized on Workbench 2.1 or later.

A translation to Danish is included.

Source code included

--------------------

Full source code is included. In fact, one of the main pur-

poses of this release is to provide quality source code for

anyone trying to write similar tools for the Amiga, or as a

sort of document on how such programs work.

I originally wrote a basic version of this utility way back

in the early 1990s (never released), but have rewritten it

completely to incorporate what I've learned over the years

about writing modular, reusable and adaptable code.

Installation

------------

Simply drag the tool's drawer to the desired location.

Configuration

-------------

You can use the SETTINGS tool type or Shell argument to

specify a file or directory in which settings should be

saved (and from which they will be loaded if found).

On Release 2 and later, you can use the PUBSCREEN tool type

or argument to specify the public screen on which you want

to program's window to open.
