# This is a fun UI that lets you convert various types of input into something else. More info available at my blog: http://learn-powershell.net/2011/09/23/showui-text-converter-for-fun-and-profitmostly-fun/
# Currently available conversions are:
# TextToBinary
# BinaryToText
# TextToHex
# HexToText
# BinaryToHex
# HexToBinary
# ReverseInput
# **Replaced the .net [string]::Join() with -Join
