# SCRIPT: equate_base_2_to_16.ksh
# AUTHOR: Randy Michael
# DATE: 07/07/2007
# REV: 1.2.P
#
# PURPOSE: This script is used to convert a base 2 number 
#          to a base 16 hexadecimal representation.
#          This scripts expects that a base 2 number
#          is supplied as a single argument.
#
# EXIT CODES:
#               0 - Normal script execution
#               1 - Usage error
#
# REV LIST:
#
#
# set -x # Uncomment to debug this script
# set -n # Uncomment to check command syntax without any execution
