+=====Purpose=====
+  * To create a number system converter that will process ridiculous numbers via bash
+=====Procedure and Necessary Knowledge=====
+  * Scripting and debugging

+  * This will only work up to base 10
+  * I don't remember how many digits or what number it will properly process...it is however a lot
+=====The Script=====
+<code>
+#!/bin/bash
+a=0
+echo -n "please enter a base: "
+read base
+echo -n "please enter a number: "
+read number
+until [ $number -eq 0 ]; do
+	n=0
+	until [ `echo "$number-$base^$n" | bc` -lt 0 ]; do
+		let n=$n+1
+	done
+	let n=$n-1
+	let number=$number-`echo "$base^$n" | bc`
+	places=""
+	for((i=0;i<$n;i++)); do
+		places="${places}0"
+	done
+	places="1${places}"
+		a=`echo "$a+$places" | bc`
+done
+echo "The value in base $base is: $a"
+exit 0
