- UTILITIES
- --------------
-
- This disk contains two utility programs called Calendar and
- Converter.Both programs were written with the Devpac
- assembler.
-
-
- Calendar
- --------
-
- This program will display the month required and highlight
- the date.
- To select a particular date you can either load preferences
- and alter the date or open the CLI and use the date
- command (EG Date 08-apr-89).You must then load the Calendar
- program.
- If you have an A501 ram expansion with built in clock then
- you need only to load the Calendar program and it will be
- the correct date.
-
-
- Converter
- ---------
-
- This program is useful for programmers who need to convert
- between different number bases.Converter allows you to
- enter 32 bit numbers, that is numbers from $00000000 to
- $ffffffff (0 to 4294967295 in Decimal).
- There are three buttons on the left called DEC (Decimal),
- Hex (Hexadecimal), and BIN (Binary).These are the three
- different number bases.To convert a decimal number to a
- hexadecimal number you must first select the DEC button
- by clicking the mouse pointer on DEC and then enter your
- number.Then if you select HEX then the displayed decimal
- number will be converted to Hexadecimal.Select 'CLEAR'
- to clear the display.
- Whilst in binary mode you can only use buttons '0', '1', and
- 'CANCEL'.In decimal mode you can use all buttons except
- the letters.The highest decimal number that you can display
- is 4294967295 otherwise an overflow message will be displayed
- and the display cleared.
