I have been verifying a digital filter design using pencil, hex
calculator, and paper.  I realized that what I really need is a
spreadsheet that understands binary or hex integer formats.  I would
like to have the basic spreadsheet functions like add and subtract,
plus a couple bit manipulation type operations like shift, arithmetic
shift, etc.

Do any of you know of any "engineers spreadsheet" out there?  It seems
like it would be a trivial hack of some basic spreadsheet, and it also
seems like someone else out there may have already solved the problem.

thanks,
