dozenal
A complete suite of dozenal (base twelve) programs, including a converter from decimal to dozenal and vice-versa, a complete scientific calculator which operates in dozenal, and a converter for the TGM dozenal metric system to and from either imperial/customary or SI units. Written in C; licensed under the GNU GPL v3.
Note that the dozenal suite was produced by an amateur C programmer because he wanted programs that performed these functions. They are not guaranteed to work. They work well enough for the author's purposes, and he's quite pleased with them; but please, thoroughly vet them yourself before relying on them. Really, the better thing to do would be to find a better programmer and rewrite them all. But for those like the author, these programs may prove useful, and they are released in that hope and no other.
Download and Installation
The dozenal suite can be downloaded and installed in a number of ways, for GNU/Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. There is also a version compiled for x86 Windows versions; it can be compiled for other Windows systems, as well.
Programs
- doz --- a converter; converts decimal numbers into dozenal. Accepts input in standard or exponential notation (i.e., "1492.2" or "1.4922e3").
- dec --- a converter; converts dozenal numbers into decimal. Accepts input in standard or exponential notation (i.e., "X44;4" or "X;444e2").
- dozword --- converts a dozenal number (integers only) into words, according to the Pendlebury system.
- dozdc --- a full-featured scientific calculator which works in the dozenal base.
- tgmconv --- a converter for all standard measurements; converts to and from TGM, Imperial, customary, and SI metric.
- dozpret --- a pretty-printer for dozenal numbers; inserts spacing (or other characters) as desired, and can also transform transdecimal digits from 'X' to 'E' into any character or sequence of characters desired.
- dozdate --- a more-or-less drop-in replacement for GNU and BSD date, it outputs the date and time in dozenal, as well as containing some TGM extensions.
