BIN (Conversion routines)

    BIN performs conversions between standard  numeric or ASCII formats 
    and the binary pattern that is used for those values. The supported 
    numeric formats are decimal, octal and hexadecimal. To convert from 
    one of these to the binary pattern the syntax is:
	
		BIN nnnnn. or BIN -nnnnn. for decimal

		BIN nnnnnnO for octal

		BIN nnnnH for hex

		BIN "n for ASCII

    The number  of n's represents  the maximum  number of  legal  input 
    characters.  The result  is printed  as a  string of 16 bits. To go
    from binary form to the others the syntax is:

		BIN nnnnnnnnB or BIN nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnB

    Results  are given  in decimal,  octal, hex and ASCII forms, in that
    order. Quick help can be obtained by entering BIN HELP.
