This is an extension of the base converter built in to my Formulad
program. It converts any number base 2-36 to any other base 2-36. Use
the letters A-Z for digits after 0-9. The only digit limit is that
while 'A' can be any number of digits (up to about 43 in base 2), it
cannot be more than 14 digits when changed to base 10, which is an
intermediate step. This is due to calculator's precision of 14 digits.
Like most of my programs, this program is _very_ compressed (325b). If
you get rid of the error messages, it can be squished to below 200bs.

A cool "feature" of base 36 numbers is that you can input words in
base 36 (since you have all the letters) and encode them into numbers,
then you can reenter the numbers and convert them back to base 36 to
decode the original text.

Thanks to Garrett Webb for some compression ideas, and a cool method
of converting numeric variables to strings. Also other various
inspirations, challenging me in programming.
