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.

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

• 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.
