I tend to use TextCalc when on machines with braindead OS's (read
windows.)  It's nice, except that it doesn't easily handle hex, and it
doesn't handle binary and octal at all.  But it's very useful when you
want to write down your thoughts and do calculations at the same time.

Wish there was a better version where I could say (0xfffffff8 &
10.10.66.22) and have it spit out =10.6.66.0 right next to it for
example. :-)

Would love something like that on the unixes.   For now I can use the
print command under bwbasic which someone has wisely compiled as a shell
program.
