Thank you for your wonderful calculator. I like
especially the RPN mode.

There is only one thing missing from it to be perfect -
dec-hex-bin-oct conversion.

If you would implement even the and/or/xor/neg
operations it would be even more perfect.

    I probably will not implement this feature unless I get more
    requests for it. I strongly oppose implementing it just by
    adding more buttons. In addition, dec-hex-bin-oct
    functionality and and/or/xor/neg operations are hardly
    compatible with the scientific functions (I mean that noone
    is likely to need both in the same time). Thus implementing
    the requested feature without damaging the present usability
    would require introducing two new modes, "programmer's
    algebraic" and "programmer's RPN", with completely different
    button and screen layouts. This would require more work than
    I am willing to put in now, so for some time there will be
    no programmer's modes.
    Maybe later...
