This was one of the first assembly programs I ever made and it was inspired by the HextToBin command of Celtic 3. It basically converts a string of hex digits into the binary data (represented as tokens in BASIC). I realised it might be easier for some programmers to use a tiny program like this versus an app :)

Also, I needed to link to a download of this :P

That's how all the old programs that let you use 100 strings/pictures in BASIC programs worked ;)

That is one of the many things I used it for, actually. I also used it for a text compression routine, but it was very slow for strings thousands of characters long (I later made an assembly version that does a much better job).
