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.

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:

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

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.)

Did it all with the hex monitor and the 1802 programmers manual for an

greener grass, that machine and software were still in 5-15x a day use
at KRCR in Redding CA.

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.

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.
