History:
--------
Bit Fiddle originated on the authors website as a PHP implementation of numeral
system conversion back in 2005 or maybe even earlier. Go have a look in the
internet archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050220024908/http://www.manderby.com/programme/umrechner.php
Later on it was re-programmed in JavaScript (before it became cool) and is still
available today here:
https://manderc.com/apps/umrechner/index.php
A few years later then, the application Bit Fiddle for Mac OS X was created and
sold on the AppStore where it can still be found today.

In January 2020, the application had been rewritten with the latest NALib and
was then available for download for Windows as well:
https://manderc.com/apps/bitfiddle/index.php
And a few months after that, the source code had been published on GitHub for
everyone to see on how to use NALib to create GUIs in the C programming language.
