Problem description:    translate the ASCII hexadecimal,decimal, and
                        octal dump files to its binary equivalent
Data for application:   input:  file containing any dump like output
                        files from TDUMP, FDUMP and other
                        output:  binary file
Programming language:   Turbo Pascal (Version 6.0+)
Instructions to compile:        TPC  asc2bin.pas , where
                        TPC is a Turbo Pascal command-line compiler
Example to run:                 asc2bin.exe in.asc out.bin $10 2 8 , where
                        <in.asc>  -> input filename
                        <out.asc>  -> output filename
                        <$10>  -> hexadecimal representation base
                        <2>  -> quantity = word number
                        <8>  -> max. number of detected numbers
                        per each line
