Re: [PLUG] radix conversion


| Anyone know a common utility that can convert radix?
| 
|     $ radix -b 8
|     1000
|     $ radix -h 31
|     1F
|     $
| 
| Yes, it's a very short perl program, but it's also a fundamental
| enough task that I'd be interested in a solution that I can find on
| machines I just happen to be on, without having to go find my custom
| tool. I was hoping for a flag to od, but no.

'bc' and 'dc'

	% dc -e 2o8p
	1000
	% dc -e 16o31p
	1F

	% echo 'obase=2; 8' | bc
	1000
	% echo 'obase=16; 31' |bc
	1F
