-
- 1) Create a new folder \System\Apps\BCalc.
-
- NB. a) Case is important.
- b) You may have to switch on "Show System Folder" from the
- System,Tools,Preferences menu to create the folder.
-
- 2) Copy the files BCalc.aif & BCalc.app into the new folder.
-
- NB. Use the 'copy only' option, DO NOT 'Convert'.
-
- You should now have a new Bcalc icon on your Extras bar.

- Instructions
- ------------
- Usage of BCalc should be self-explanatory but the following should
- be noted:
-
- 1) The Mode key cycles through the bases (DEC -> BIN -> HEX -> DEC ..).
-
- 2) When in Binary mode only 8 bits of the 32-bit value are shown
- at any one time. To view the next 8 bits tap the calculator display
- with the pointer.
-
- 3) Multiplication & Division have a higher precedence than Addition &
- Subtraction, hence 2+3*5 = 17 (not 25 as on basic desk calculators)
