# Decimal-Binary Unit Converter 1.0

Need to convert between decimal and binary byte units?

This is a unit converter make just for that purpose.

Different units for bytes are used in different places:

* File sizes (binary megabytes = MiB)
* Internet bandwidth (decimal megabits = Mbit)
* Hard drive sizes (decimal gigabytes = GB)
* RAM sizes (binary gigabytes = GiB)

This program helps you convert these units easily.

## Requirements

* Java 1.5 or later
* Ant or Make — to compile

## Applet

If your web browser supports Java applets, you can use the application on the [applet page].

## Download

This program can also be run as a standalone Java application:

* [Decimal-Binary Unit Converter 1.0](http://davidfstr.github.com/Decimal-Binary-Unit-Converter/assets/DecBinUnitConverter-1.0.jar)

## Compiling

* To compile all source files locally, run `ant` or `make`.
* To run locally compiled files, use `ant run` or `make run`.
* To package everything in a distributable JAR, use `ant jar`.

## History

I originally created this as an experiment in 2008 to:

* use [JGoodies Forms] to create a GUI with as few lines of code as possible, and to
* package a Java app for deployment.
