NUMSHOW can convert a decimal number to binary, hexadecimal and octal.
It can also convert a binary string to decimal, hexadecimal and octal.
It can also convert a hexadecimal string to decimal, and octal.
It can also convert an encoded hexadecimal string to ASCII - strings such as '%6B%3D%75%6E%65%73%63' can be converted neatly to 'k=unesc'.
NUMSHOW can also display a formatted table of ASCII values onscreen. Pressing a key will display the ASCII, hex and octal values associated with that keypress. NUMSHOW supports extended keypresses (eg. Home, or Crtl-Right-Arrow).
NUMSHOW can also benchmark the speed of the computer.
