Hi Michael,
i resend this to the list, because probably you get some cool and nice suggestions for an console calculator :)
<offtopic> Windows Internal, but it works... </offtopic>
Nice :-)
Try the link above and build it on you're own.
But: What calculator to use in grml for all that hex/decimal conversions (and multiplications and additions)?
Try python. Just enter 0xfa or something and you get the corresponding decimal value.
If you want the hex value of a decimal number, use hex($numer) and it works.
You can calculate with hex values in bc when you set the base. Just do an ibase=16 and it should work.
There is no orpie (great console RPN calculator) and GNU Calculator for Emacs is not there either. Okay, dc/bc is there, but I don't know (and could not figure out by grepping the man page) how they can handle hex numbers...
Hm, i just tried orpie and i think python is much nicer, especially if you use ipython.
libgcc and libstdc++ are too old when "dpkg -i"-ing it from the grml-0.8 CD. Thanks anyway.
Hm, i used grml 0.8.3 or something like that, and it worked out of the box. I can rebuild it, if you really need it.
