That last part is interesting: Roman numerals
Is it possible to support base conversions bin-oct-hex-dec-base12(duodecimal) and other ancient (or modern) numbering/numeral systems?

Is it possible to modify or add to the definitions in "\entries\units.xml to add "Torque" units similar to Mathcad.... Also, is it possible to modify same file to add US definitions and change defaults, as well as eliminate some that are not used as frequently in US.
For example, in 30+ year of structural engineering I have only once used SI units and never illuminance, inductance units, etc....if they can be eliminated in a "custom" units.xml file, I would remove most the unused units.
It would significantly speed up drilling down to units I do use on frequent basis.

It is possible to do so, I've edited my units.xml to define everything in terms of inches and pounds (left metric alone since I don't use it). I also added a few custom definitions such as area and diameter of rebar. To add units I found it best to not change the language file and just add the unit definition Code:<unit value="0.79*'in^2" description="248" dimension="All">
<name lang="eng" text="'A.#8" />
</unit>

This is great. Thanks for posting this for all of us who have to use English units. It's not quite perfect (converting between metric and English does not output as expected), but it's much better than the defaults, especially the badly needed inclusion of units for force density (pcf). Can someone explain to me how to adjust this file so the default unit is feet instead of inches? For example, in the following calculation: 150 pcf * 1 ft * 1 ft = I would like the default result to be: 150 lb/ft instead of: 12 lb/in Edited by user 24 July 2013 01:03:43(UTC)

Great software! I especially like the interface as a calculator.
Wonder if we already have the function of bin-oct-hex-dec conversion?
Thanks!

You need to define the complement value. Windows calc use 2^64, but SMath only can use 2^32. Check the attached. Originally Posted by: yardern BTW, I see a lot squares in (I know not all ASCII code can be displayed) definition of N$256, It seems N$256 is not needed? Anyway, thanks!
I use N$256 sometimes for convert full ASCII text to a decimal number. For example, the string "SMath" in base 256, using N$256 is 353468707687 in base 10. numbase.pdf (508kb) downloaded 123 time(s). numbase.sm (210kb) downloaded 97 time(s).Best regards. Alvaro.
