C++ and VB (Visual Basic)
I am also putting old programs that I wrote back in the day. One of them is my very first C++ program (and my last because I’m lame). It’s a simple unit conversion program that converts any (K/M/G/P/T/etc)bits to any (K/M/G/P/T/etc)Bytes.
It includes the source code that can be compiled to run in Windows and Linux. The Windows binary is included, but not a Linux one.

I always like Visual Basic for creating some simple programs. I’m not that good at it… and I really only have one completed program to put here (for now). It’s one of my first ones and like the C++ program above, it deals with converting bits to bytes. I wrote this in April 2000 with VB 5.0.

I’ve used Conversion Buddy for years, and still do! It has always worked fine in all Windows versions up to current Windows 8. Thanks for this useful little program you wrote “back in the day”
