Decimal Mode Hexadecimal Mode SciCalc 2.0

Decimal Mode with Thousands Separators Binary Mode SciCalcRPN 2.5

SciCalc is a scientific calculator with the features I liked best from my last several (real) calculators.

An Incomplete List of Features

• As of version 2.0 SciCalc is also a programmer's calculator, allowing integer arithmetic and bitwise operations in binary, octal or hexadecimal.
• SciCalc uses algebraic entry with the usual order of operations, with parentheses available to change that order. SciCalcRPN is an RPN version of SciCalc.
• It computes the standard scientific functions, plus one- variable statistics (average, population standard deviation, and sample standard deviation). The statistics are available at all times (no statistics "mode").
• It has a choice of floating point, scientific, or fixed-point notation.
• You can choose to display numbers with thousands separators, as set in the Numbers Control Panel.
• Displayed values may be dragged to other programs; text representing numbers may be dragged to the display.
• You may select the font and size to be used in the display.
• With SciCalcRPN you can set the size of the stack from 1 to 999 entries. You can open the stack in a separate window, where it may be edited by cutting and pasting, or you may drag entries around.
• I had some fun with the graphics; I hope you like them.

System Requirements SciCalc 2.0 and SciCalcRPN 2.5 require System 7.0 or later. There are two versions, a 68K version and a PowerPC version (see the documentation for the reason I did not make a fat binary). The 68K version requires a minimum of 450K of RAM, but is happier with 540K. The PPC version needs a minimum of 360K, but is happier with 420K (these are the figures with virtual memory or RAMDoubler active; otherwise add 360K to these numbers). You must have MacOS 7.5 to Drag and Drop displayed numbers between programs. Color graphics require at least 256 colors. On screens with fewer colors, the calculator will draw itself in black and white.

Freeware SciCalc used to be shareware, when I had the time to maintain it. It is now freeware. Enjoy!
