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
