Greetings;
I have been asked to crosscheck some address decoding on a proposed PDB design, and I have been useing the binary display of kcalc to do that sort of thing for a decade or more.
Unfortunately, TDE has excised that display capability from kcalc.
So, is there a replacement package that will do that? If not, can it be put back into kcalc?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi Gene,
Just click on Settings / Logic Buttons to enable that feature.

That is not the display I need Mike, its been on all along.
What I am refering to are the groups of small squares, arranged in groups of 8, under the normal result window, each of which turns black when that bit on an 8 bit byte is set. They can also be clicked on, setting or unsetting the bit, with the result display above following suit. So you can construct a binary pattern, and instantly see the hexidecimal representation it represents.
This is part of the KDE kcalc, but is missing from the TDE kcalc. I've found it handier than sliced bread, bottled beer and instant sex combined at times.
Plus, the TDE version appears no place in the launch menu's where KDE makes it easily useable from the menu's, where now I must tie up a terminal session to run it.
Would it be possible to re-install the KDE version without a dependency hell tearing down the rest of the system?
Thank you.

I did a Google search and came up with this:
https://www.kde.org/applications/utilities/kcalc/
It doesn't seem to have the window you mention.
Are you sure that you are thinking of the right application? Are you thinking of Gcalc as in Ubuntu? I can't in a hurry find a screenshot of that. But see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Calculator
Again, not as you described.
I'll do some more searching later.

It is a click on box option in the settings menu of kcalc Lisi, "show bit edit". Completely missing from the TDE version. But I got it all sussed, see my reply to Mike Bird.

I have looked at that in previous incarnations and found it lacking.

Whistle in the St Bernards and sample the stuff you sent them out with. The lost has been found. :)

I've whistled him in. ;-) Sadly, I'll have to give the contents of the barrell to my husband - I'm allergic. But he'll enjoy it!
A screenshot? I'm fascinated. I haven't seen any such thing since pin boards and machine code programming. (For the young among you, I don't mean Assembler. I mean machine code programming.)

Chuckle, been there, done that, still have the forms I use to write , for an RCA-1802, a tape handle and video labeler for a tv station in No Cal, back in 1978 or so.
Did it all with the hex monitor and the 1802 programmers manual for an assembler. 15 years after I had gone on down the road looking for greener grass, that machine and software were still in 5-15x a day use at KRCR in Redding CA.

Mike;
I just found that the KDE version is still installed, and that it still works.
So my problem can be fixed if I type the full path to it.
I'll see what I can do about that. I presume there is a function in the menu editor that would allow me to add a couple launch links, 1 to kde-kcalc, and 1 to tde-kcalc.
Thanks again.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Yes it does.
Just a point of clarification--TDE didn't *remove* this feature; it was added in the KDE4 version of kcalc *after* TDE was forked from KDE.

Chuckle. Worked for a small capture. Now whats the size limit? :)

Not what you indicated, but I now have both installed in a new Math submenu, so I can run either as needed.
Thanks Mike.
