       gbase - small numeric base converter


       gbase [options]


       gbase   converts   numbers   between  bases  2  (binary),  8  (octal),  10  (decimal),  16

       If you specify a number on the command line (preceded by a switch to describe the base the
       number  is  in)  the program will display that number in the four bases on the console and
       You can also specify the -s switch which will allow you to enter/display  signed  numbers.
       (This allows the use of a - (minus) before a decimal number).

       Just running the program without any switches will display the main window. There are four
       entry boxes, corresponding to each of the four bases. You can type into any of these boxes
       and  the others will update automagically. The program will ignore any characters that are
       not allowed for that particular base. It will only allow a - (minus) at  the  start  of  a
       decimal number, if the signed option is on.
