I can't offer any suggestions for fixing DCad calculator, but you might want
to try using DT Calculator, available on sumex as /da/dt-calculator-303.hqx
I have been using it instead of DCad for quite some time since it allows
input from the keypad and keyboard, and it has RPN (HP style) input which
I greatly prefer to algebraic (everybody else style).  In it's about box it
is listed as "Advertiseware" for Seagull Engineering of Sweden.

Some of the features include:  all trig functions and inverses, all hyperbolics
and inverses, simple two variable statistics, factorial, natural and base
ten log and exponential, polar to rectangular conversion, and multiple display
options (fix, eng, sci).

To be perfectly honest, though, I usually have a calculator close to my Mac 
which I use for simple calculations. :-)  Anything more sophisticated I throw
to Excel or Mathematica.
