Thank you for helping write such a useful free calculator.
1. I was in Ateneo de Davao and I was installing a linux host to be used
for Haskell programming. While trying to get the network connection
to work, I needed to do decimal-to-hex and decimal-to-binary
conversions (computing subnet mask, network address, etc). I had my
Palm m100 running EasyCalc, and I did not know how to do the conversions.
The Integer calculator mode has [Bin], [Dec], [Hex] keys but their use is
not intuitive. My failed attempt was: press on [Dec], enter the graffiti
192, highlight the 192, press on [Hex], and nothing happens. What am
I doing wrong? (All I wanted was to convert decimal 192 to hex. Why
can't EasyCalc be like a normal calculator?
2. Another useful feature is "Fraction" mode, which will allow
computations like 345&23/1000037 + 100417/100001 that will give the answer
in fraction form in lowest terms. This feature is already available in
many new scientific calculators. The denominator is not limited to 3 digits.
Will EasyCalc have this feature soon?
