# The Jungle Jim: Number Base Converter

BASIC program converting numbers between any two bases (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) by first converting input to base 10, then to the target base. Handles numbers up to 1,000,000+ in base 10. Also includes a brief huh? program using PEEK/POKE on memory location 16512-16513 that demonstrates unexpected display-file behavior.
