Doug Deep's MegaNum Converter ■ version 1 ■ User Documentation
Freeware from Duane Paulson. A "MegaNum" is what the RIPscrip people call a
base 36 number. These are used in RIPscrips to allow data to be transmitted
in a compact format. Unfortunately, base-36 conversions are far from
intuitive, and in fact can lead to nightmare situations, as in Flag 1 of
the Button Descriptor, which is a 4 digit MegaNum, bitmapped! In order to
ease the pain of dealing with MegaNums, this program is presented. It
accepts input in Binary, Decimal, Hexadecimal, or MegaNum format, then
translates and displays the values for each of these for base-number systems.
[RIPscrip is a trademark of TeleGrafix Communications, Inc., which had nothing
to do with the making of this program.]
