Hi,
	I am looking for a way to convert data from one format to another, 
for example currently I have three different types of binary data files, which
I want to convert to an ASCII form, I have ASCII files on which I want to do
processing and output to a BINARY/ASCII form,
	These are all numeric data, I have seen programs which work for a
specific case like binary to HEX etc;
	What I want is to get a program/write one which will take a data
in a format (Format number is stored in a central location) and output it to
another file (whose Format is again stored in the same place) There is also a
list of high level processes which can be performed on each input data file,
And numeric data needed for these which is also stored in similar files,
	So all the program does is is take data from input format, apply
specified processes with specified data and output data in a specified file,
All the specifications are in standard Text file and is changeable at will,
	Any help on this is appreciated, I am a newbie to c++ so If there are
any classes which will help me, please let me know, If there is sufficient
interest in this, I will put my program in the public domain for free
distribution, 
	Thanks,
	--Arvind
