     Description:

	This program is a general purpose conversion utility.  The original
     source was taken from an old version of the TDX (catchall) task.  This
     version includes help (available by typing "?" or "/HE"), ranges, and
     display of EBCDIC characters.

******************************************************************************

Example:

>CVT
CVT> ?
This program is used to convert Decimal, Octal, Hexadecimal, Radix-50,
ASCII, and EBCDIC to the equivalent in other radices.  Either bytes,
a word, a range, or wildcard can be specified.

Valid commands are:
	nnn = decimal number, #nnn = octal number, $nnn = Hexadecimal,
	"xx = ASCII string,   'x = ASCII byte,     %xxx = Radix-50 string,
	~xx = EBCDIC string,  * = wildcard (displays the entire table).

Examples:
	CVT> 65,66  - Specified bytes are in decimal.
	     #41101 - Specified word is in octal.
	     ~A-Z   - Displays EBCDIC A-Z inclusive.
