You need to know

• This applet only works for integer values & not long or float
• You can substitute Integer.MAX_VALUE , ByTe.MiN_VaLuE , etc for numbers (not case sensitive)
• Hitting enter in a field or "Get Bytes" will give binary equivalents & if all is set the result is shown
• Changing the shift operator changes the result & the corresponding binary field instantly
• If you see "Plz enter a valid number" in any of the fields , that means the number you entered is not a valid integer
• If you see an e-mail id some exception must have occurred in which case please mail me the number you entered in the fields
• If the layout fucks up after a reload , refresh or hide then you'll have to wait for me to understand the layout managers or you could lay out the fields & buttons & I could put the rest in for you.

Fields/Buttons:

• Enter number here : This field is where you put the  number you wanna shift
• Get Bytes : This button gets the binary equivalent of any permissible integer value
• Menu : This gives you a choice of the shift operators
• Shift by what value : This is where you enter the number of times you wanna shift
• Go : Once both the fields are set , hitting this button shows the result
• Result : This is where the result shows . You can also enter a valid number in this field & hit enter or Get Bytes to see the binary equivalent
• + : this button increments the "Shift by what value" field by one
• - : this button decrements the "Shift by what value" field by one

Known Problem's

When the reload button is hit in Netscape Navigator the Layout screws up. I know the source of the problem, it'll be tackled as soon as I get some time to read & understand layout managers.
