Thanks to the help of Klemens, Brian, and Stuart, I have ported pcalc (originally written by Peter Glen, now maintained by Mike Frysinger). Brief description: Programmer's calculator, command line utility. There was always a loophole when it came to a need to covert between hexadecimal / decimal / octal / binary. Especially if it involved an operation like 0x1234 + 0x20 It took a lot of hard work, and mostly a good pocket calculator. Main features: o Full math parser, parentheses, add, sub, mult, div, exponential o Automatic conversion between HEX DEC OCT BIN numbers o Mixing different bases in one expression o Definable variables o Math constants (E PI ...) o Built in math functions (sin/cos/sqrt ...) I believe the port is ready for consideration to be added to the ports tree. However, testing on other architectures is is needed - I only have amd64 and macppc machines personally, and part of the test suite fails on macppc (reported upstream: https://github.com/vapier/pcalc/issues/7). If you have a system with another arch, please let me know if `make test` is able to run successfully!
This version is much nicer. ~Brian
