HEXX 1.4/FEXX 1.0 user guide ============================ HEXX is a program that converts decimal numbers into other bases, such as but not limited to binary, octal and hexadecimal, using a simple user interface. FEXX is the equivalent program that uses the integratable program HEXI. Here are the diferences between HEXX and FEXX: + HEXX displays the resulting string one character at a time - FEXX displays the resulting string when it is finished processing it + HEXX is entirely self-contained (no other programs required) - FEXX requires HEXI + The string created by HEXX is stored in Str1 only - The string created by FEXX is stored in Ans and Str1 + HEXX is about 563 bytes in memory - FEXX and HEXI combined are smaller than HEXX by about 100 bytes * HEXX and FEXX have the same interface From this point on, FEXX and HEXX will both be referred to as HEXX. INTERFACE --------- The interface of HEXX is pretty easy to understand. First it asks you how many inputs you want. For one input, it can be any decimal number that the calculator can handle. For two inputs, the first must be a positive or negative integral value (whole number) and the second must conform to the rule 0 <= F < 1 (it can be no less than 0 and less than 1). Then HEXX will ask for the base number. This can be a number between 2 and 36 inclusive. The decimal number will be converted to this base. COMMON BASES ------------ BASE NAME DIGITS 2 binary 0 and 1 8 octal 0 to 7 10 decimal 0 to 9 16 hexadecimal 0 to 9 and A to F 36 0 to 9 and A to Z CONTACT ------- Email Ben Klein (the shack) at the_shack@f-m.fm
