    Announcing "HexCalc NDA" for the IIgs
    The Programmer's Friend

    The HexCalc NDA is a 64 bit Hexadecimal, Decimal, and Octal calculator
    for the IIgs, with an additional Binary display of the calculated
    results.

    The HexCalc NDA functions include:
    Works with up to 64 bit numbers.
    Input in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, or Binary.
    Can Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide.
    Has Logic functions, AND, OR, NOR, XOR, ROL, and ROR.
    Supports a Memory function.
    Copy or paste the display for use in other apps.

    HexCalc can be used with IPC calls to allow an application to support 64
    bit Integer arithmetic.
    An additional HexCalc Sampler application supplied with the archive,
    shows how the IPC calls can be used within an application, or it can
    simply be used for quick and easy number conversions.

    Ewen,

    Very nice!

    I like your HexCalc Sampler application for its conversion ability, particularly since you included octal ability, as I still do some
    projects where octal numbers are used, and until now, didn't have that converter within any of my Apple II utility programs.

    Thank you for continuing to release useful professional quality software
    for the Apple IIgs.

    Hugh,

    I like your HexCalc Sampler application for its conversion ability, particularly since you included octal ability, as I still do some
    projects where octal numbers are used, and until now, didn't have that converter within any of my Apple II utility programs.

    What I would like to do in a future release, would be to have the
    RemoteCtl IPC calls work with HexCalc itself closed, so a user's app
    could have a LIneEdit, where a user could enter "2+3-6*4/2=" and see the result...

    Thank you for continuing to release useful professional quality software
    for the Apple IIgs.

    Thank you for the nice words. It all helps to keep my brain active...

    Cheers - Ewen
