Purpose.

     This file contains eight functions.  The first four of these functions
convert a string into a "double" number, but each one converts a different
type of string (hexidecimal,octal,binary,decimal).  The last four do the
opposite-"double" number to string (hexidecimal,octal,binary,decimal).
     Each function uses a list to aid in conversion, instead of mutilplica-
tion.  Why use double?  On the IBM PC floating numbers truncate and "get
off." Double numbers do not.  Floating numbers handle 6 decimal digits.
Double numbers handle 10 decimal digits (Even though I did not use
decimals).
     The functions can be shortened and made to be 4 times faster by adding
the "break" keyword.  The functions are designed to be more readable (i.e.
instead of say "y += + a * x[count3],"  they appear as " y = y + a *
x[count3]").  They, the functions, are structured.
     The Source does not include many comments, but as a programmer you
should have no problem.
     This "code" is released to the public domain only if the author is
