Your base is my command
Ever used one of those cheap online ASCII->Binary converters? I’m sure we all have… Sure, they work, but they just aren’t cool. ASCII is a 7-bit code, which means that 7 bits at most are needed per character. Most of the online translators pad every 7-bit chunk with an extra bit to make it an 8-bit byte. I just can’t stand that… Just one of those things. Another thing… Ever seen an ASCII text to ASCII base 13 converter? Well, I just wrote nice little program to convert into any number system. ( 2 through 36 ). And alas, no more zeroes than needed. The progam calculates the string length of 127 in the desitred base and pads every “character” so it has exactly that many digits. whoopeee. In my eyes, the only down side is the cheap interface. IT
