BCALC - Calculator Version 1.0
BCALC is a programmer's calculator for Windows 95.
It features:
o Large easy to read digits, color adjustable
o Large easy to hit buttons, which work on press-down, while most others work on
release, which can lead to keying errors if using a mouse.
o Adjustable precision (number of digits). Up to 5 digits of exponent
o Radix uf 2,8,16, and 10. Exponent Radix is independant
o Sign-Magnitude or Radix-Complement display
BCALC can display up to 64 digits in any radix, which allows you to perform 64 bit
binary math operations. BCALC includes shift left/right by 1 and shift arbitiary
buttons. Up to 5 digits of exponent allow you to do things like 10000 ! (factorial).
All basic math is done using BCD (binary coded decimal) arithmetic using at leaast
two more digits than displayed so results match display precision.
Trig and Scientific functions are performed using double (64 bit) floating point.
