BCalc v1.0 by Mark Kelly ------------------------ BCalc is a Base conversion Calculator for the Psion Series 5. The Calculator supports conversion between Decimal, 32-Bit Hex and 32-Bit Binary values, along with the basic mathematical operators. BCalc is Freeware. It may be copied and distributed freely for Non-commercial use. No warranties are expressed or implied. Psion assigned UID is 0x10000F65. Any comments or suggestions should be sent to mark@mnkspc.demon.co.uk Installation ------------ 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)
