$VER: Variator.doc 2.0 (13.03.1997)
Copyright 1991, 1997 by Dalibor Kezele
WARNING
"""""""
I'm not responsible if Variator causes any damage to your disks,
your programs or your data. I wrote this piece of code simply
because I needed it and I decided to put it into public together
with source code. I'm pretty sure that it hasn't "BURN_YOUR_CPU"
code included, but if something happens - don't blame me.
UTILITY
"""""""
Variator is very simply utility. It is made to translate numbers
from one numeric base to another. Very useful for programers, but
also for other users. Small and clear, it is ideal for running
as a background process.
Variator converts numbers up to 32. bit. Translated to "normal"
language it would mean that the maximum number is
% 11111111111111111111111111111111 (binar)
& 377777777777 (octal)
4294967295 (decimal)
h FFFFFFFF (hexadecimal)
Entering a wrong character (e.g. "A" in octal base) or a number
biger than mentioned limit would display an error.
I really don't have to explain how to use Variator. If you know
Workbench you'll know Variator, also. Yet, I coded small Help
window into it. Just click onto "Help" gadget or press <CR>.
SHAREWARE
"""""""""

THANKS
""""""
The one and only thanks has to go to Andreas Magnuson who wrote
me big e-mail reporting Enforcer hits caused by Variator.
Unfortunatelly, I have Amiga 500 with "obsolete" OS in ROM and
soft 2.04 and I'm not able to use all those magnificant
debuging tools.
