Description:
This program converts 32 bit whole numbers from one numeric base to another.
The supported bases are Decimal, Hexadecimal, Octal, Binary and 8 bit ASCII code.
Update Description:
- Big and small colour icons. 1,2 and 8 bit images added.
- Now negative decimal values can be entered directly into the decimal field. Characters other than the minus sign ('-') no longer allowed.
- Signed/Unsigned button added to convert between ranges of decimal integers. The decimal field updates instantly to the value in either state with a single tap.
- Warning dialogs for hex, octal and now decimal as well, are displayed if incorrect data is entered. The opportunity is given to see the erroneous data and remove it.
- Added options on the application menu to perform Cut, Copy and Paste operations.
- Also fixed this to work with the Graffiti command stroke shortcuts (penstroke bottom-left to top-right, in letter area, followed by C, X or P).
- The state of all field values, the list and the button is restored when the application is returned to. Any erroneous values are zeroed.

OK, OK, so I was the one with the problem; the program is fine...the issue I had with the use of on-screen real estate is resolved. The area on lower left of screen is the ASCII representation of decimal numbers 1-255. THE FINAL VERDICT: IT'S GRRRRRRRREAT! (It just helps if you know a few facts).

I have to retract some of my earlier comments: You can indeed provide hex and octal input and it will convert to decimal and binary! So now I recommend it highly. It is just a tad slow to recognize my graffiti input, but not onerously so. I still would appreciate it if the author could contact me about some of the display format questions I have. And I still don't get the graphical representation of numbers 1-255 in the box on left side of screen. Anyone know what that's for?

Does a fine job, but is restricted to decimal input for conversion. If it at least converted from binary input it would merit much higher rating. Also don't understand why so much on-screen real estate is devoted to character map of values. Would like feedback from designer as to design/use goals. Perhaps I don't understand the program well enough...
