INTRODUCTION
============

BASE CONVERSION- allows the conversion of numbers from one base to another.  
For example; a number can be represented in Decimal format (base 10), 
Binary (base 2), Octal (base 8), or Hexadecimal (base 16).  The program 
allows the entry of a number (in any base) and it converts the number to 
each of the above bases (Bin,Oct,Dec,HexaDec).
As well as this the user can elect to have the number converted to
another base, (any base of 2,3,4,5,...,35).
That is; the user could enter the number 1AEF.4E Base 20 and have the
program convert it to base 24 and give L87.5F as the result.
The program also give the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) value of the number,
as well as the Excess-3 BCD value of the number.
