XCALC

XCALC is a super flexible calculator for your 32-bit Windows. It’s perfect for those quick math problems, whether you need simple decimal calculations or more complex floating point, hexadecimal, octal, or even binary numbers. You can work with signed integers in 32, 16, and 8 bit formats. It's like having a mini math lab right on your computer!

Using XCALC: RPN Made Easy

This app uses something called RPN (Reverse Polish Notation), which you might know from classic Hewlett-Packard calculators. You can choose how you want to see your calculations. Want just a small window that shows one number? Or do you prefer a large display with all sorts of colors and buttons? XCALC has got you covered either way!

User-Friendly Interface

The user interface is designed so anyone can use it easily. Whether you're a keyboard warrior or a mouse master, it's all good! For instance, if you want to add 123 and 456, just type in "123 456 +" and bam! You've got your answer.

Keyboard vs Mouse: Your Choice

Now, I should mention that using the keyboard does have its quirks—you might miss some keys like the square root function that are common on other calculators. But honestly, typing can be much quicker than clicking around with the mouse.

Need Help? No Problem!

If you're stuck trying to remember how to input different math operations, don’t sweat it! Just use the mouse and keyboard display for guidance. Or if you're really in a bind, hit Alt-K or Ctrl-F1 for instant help on your keyboard shortcuts.

Memory Features and Custom Settings

One cool feature of XCALC is that it remembers everything between sessions! All your settings are saved in files called XCALC.INI and XCALC.DAT. This includes what you've configured—like your stack memory—and even where you left off on the screen.
