Numerical System Transformations - Lecture
Hy,

I wrote new article on Numerical Systems and Transformations yesterday evening (on my C Lessons Project webpage) and would like to share it with you. If someone can help me format my text for this forum, I would appreciate it, so I culd post full article here..

Here's intro:

"Our society uses numerical system based on number 10. There is a n0torious explanation why this system is used - it's simple, people have ten fingers, thus makes them easier to calculate numbers. If things were gone different, and something had messed up primordial soup -> developing Homo sapiens with eight fingers, it would be more likely we would use octal numeric system at present time. Infinite number of numerical systems exist, but following are most commonly used, and their conversion from one to another, is simple."

cvtbatch

CVTBATCH(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       CVTBATCH(8)

NAME

       cvtbatch - convert Usenet batch file to INN format

SYNOPSIS

       cvtbatch [ -w items ]

DESCRIPTION

       Cvtbatch  reads	standard  input  as a series of lines, converts each line, and writes it to standard output.  It is used to convert simple
       batchfiles that contain just the article name to INN batchfiles that contain additional information about each article.

       Each line is taken as the pathname to a Usenet article.	If it is not an absolute pathname, it is taken relative to  the  spool	directory,
       /var/spool/news.  (Only the first word of each line is parsed; anything following whitespace is ignored.)

OPTIONS

       -w     The  ``-w''  flag  specifies  how  each output line should be written.  The items for this flag should be chosen from the ``W'' flag
	      items as specified in newsfeeds(5).  They may be chosen from the following set:
		   b	Size of article in bytes
		   f	full pathname of article
		   m	article message-id
		   n	relative pathname of article

       If the input file consists of a series of Message-ID's, then use grephistory(1) with the ``-s'' flag piped into cvtbatch.
