N Ver 4.0 Numerical/Logical Converter/Evaluator (C)1985 Norman H. Strassner

	N40 operates as either a CP/M transient or in a local command mode.
N40 enables translation and logical evaluation of numbers and expressions,
sending all results to the console device and optionally to a disk file.

	Transient operation:
		See examples below
	Local command mode:
		All examples below are valid PLUS:
	ESCape key  -  Enables/Disables output file. Fully prompting.
	"?"	    -  Displays help page
	";"	    -  Allows entering a comment into output file.
		       Any expressions past semicolon are ignored.

	Accepts DECIMAL, HEX and BINARY numbers, and ASCII characters,
Displaying equivalences in all four forms. APPEND n with "H" if hex, "B"
if binary. No appendage if decimal

PREFIX control characters (^@ - ^Z) with caret "^"

PREFIX CAPITAL ASCII (SPACE - TILDE"~") with "@"

PREFIX LOWER CASE ASCII (a - z) with "!"

LOGICAL OPERATORS:  +  ADD  -  SUB  *  MUL  /  DIV  AND  OR  XOR . (.=CLEAR)

Delimeters between commands = space or comma

From Command Line:
A>N n		       ....For single input
A>N n n,n,n,n n...n	  ....For multiple inputs
A>N n [logical op] n [logical op],n n . n [logical op] n

	Entire line can be mixed with single inputs and logical equations.
A period [.] in the command line will clear the 16 bit accumulator and
restart the program, resuming next position in command line after [.].

N40 will not give remainders from division, or overflow indicators of
results greater than 65535 (0FFFFH)

Example:
A series of expressions and numbers from the command prompt:

Example 1:
Transient conversions, one or more operations:
