BConv

BConv is a software tool designed to convert numbers between different bases, from 2 to 36. This Python script can be used conveniently by running the command bconv followed by the desired options and input numbers. The available options include specifying the input or output base with the -iIBASE and -oOBASE flags respectively, with values ranging from 2 to 36. Additionally, the -l and -u flags can be used to output the results in lowercase or uppercase respectively.

Users can choose to display the software's help text or version information using the -h or -v flags respectively. Additionally, the -c flag can display BConv's copying policy before exiting. By default, the script uses decimal base (10) for all input and output numbers, which can be changed by specifying the base in binary (2), octal (8), decimal (10), or hexadecimal (16). Alphabetic characters from A to Z are also supported as bases 11 to 36.

This software was modeled after a similar C-based program by the developer in 1996. The only requirement for this software to run is having Python installed. The latest release of BConv introduces more robust handling of input arguments, improving the reliability of the software. BConv is an effective tool for converting numbers between different bases and is recommended for those looking for a simple and reliable solution.
