If you want to process more than one signal,  I recall a bunch of "level 
shifter" parts.  For example,  going low-to-high there's the 40109 (which I 
happen to have a bunch of NOS of,  175 pcs it seems).  The 4049 or 4050 will 
go the other way,  I think.  Probably a bunch of other numbers out there 
too...
