Basics for VB is a set of binary string and bit
manipulation functions for VB5 / VB6. It contains the
equivalent of DOS Basic's MKI$ CVI series for creating
binary strings plus functions to check or set bits, to
check or set bit fields and to check or set flags.
There are also function to return the unsigned values
of VB integer and long integers and functions to
display byte, integer or long variables as a string of
ones and zeros.

The demo is a compiled program which demonstrates some
of the functions in Basics.bas. Although its primary
purpose is, obviously, to help sell Basics.bas, it is
also a useful program in its own right. You can enter
a number, as signed, as unsigned, as hex or by setting
bits or by setting flags. Whichever you enter, the
other representations update - Including any
designated bit field. It can, therefore, be a useful
tool not only for debugging but also for teaching.
