I got the dCad3.0 calculator off of info-mac. Fuctionally, it is just what I wanted. Performance, however, is pretty bad; the re-draw time everytime you switch modes is horrible, and I can't do everything from the keyboard (like typing A-F in Hex mode). Are there any other DA calculators that do Hex/Bin/Oct with any better performance. I really like all the logical functions, so keeping them would be a plus. I would also prefer not to go commercial if it will be expensive; the $8 they want for dCad will be worth it if I have to buy a $30 product to get the same functionality. I would also like to keep infix; postfix has always given me the willies, but I can live with it if performance is greatly superior. Thanks, pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)

I use BaseToBase which I probably got from info-mac, but it does not appear to be there now. It does Hex/Dec/Oct/Bin, allows keyboard input, has logical functions (OR, AND, NOT, XOR, 2's compl).
