-
- DHB is a simple but useful programming-tool. It's only task is, to convert
- Integers between decimal, hexadecimal and binary numbers very comfortable
- and with low expense.
-
- DHB was coded to 100% in assembler. Therefore the binary is very compact.
- Because of being rather short too, I placed the Sourcecode in only one
- modul. The program may be started from CLI or from Workbench. DHB knows no
- parameters.
-
- The files are:
-
- - dhb.s The source
- - dhb The binary
- - dhb.info Info-file for Workbench start
- - README.d The German Manual (It might be better...)
- - README.e The English Manual
-
-
-
- THE MENU
- --------
-
- ... includes only one item:
-
- Auto-Clear (on/off): If switched on (default), the input area of the
- stringgadgets will be automatically cleared by
- klicking on them.
-
-
-
-
- THE STRINGGADGETS:
- ------------------
-
- Four stringgadgets do the input/output of numbers:
-
- Decimal-gadget (d): Possible characters:
- 0-9,
- Space,
- Sign (+,-);
-
- Hexadecimal-gadget ($): Possible characters:
- 0-9,
- A-F (a-f),
- Space;
-
- Binary-gadget (%): Possible characters:
- Digits 0 and 1;
- Space
-
- ASCII-gadget (a): Possible characters:
- All Chars;
- This gadget only works
- with bits 0-7 of the 32-bit-number.
-
-
-
-
- THE BOOLGADGETS
- ---------------
- (from left to right:)
-
-
- Left-shift («): Independent from the BWL-Gadget, the whole
- 32-bit-number is shifted one Position to the left.
- This means the same as: "lsl.l #1,...".
-
- Right-Shift (»): The same as above but to the right side.
- This means the same as: "lsr.l #1,...".
-
- BWL-Gadget (B,W,L): This Gadget switches the shown width of the number.
- 'B'yte (8 Bit) -> 0-255
- 'W'ort (16 Bit) -> 0-65535
- 'L'ong (32 Bit) -> 0-4294967295
-
- Sign-Gadget (+,±): This Gadget switches between signed- or unsigned
- display.
- - '+' -> unsigned
- - '±' -> signed
- It only affects the decimal display.
- But nevertheless you may do a signed decimal Input.
-
-
-
-
-
- ERROR MESSAGES
- --------------
-
- - Invalid Character: Couldn't convert the number;
- Wrong character in input-area;
-
- - Overflow: At dezimal input, value was out of Range;
- (Greater than 4294967295)
