Key Features:

• Supports a rich expression format, which is in most cases identical to what you would type in your programming language.
• Support for adding an unlimited number of variables.
• Built-in debugger that lets you see the expression simplified step by step.
• Debugger Back-step lets you backup as many steps as you like so that you can replay critical operations.
• C/C++ operator precedence
• Mouse optional, all calculator commands and functions can be done using the keyboard alone.
• Mini-Calc Mode lets your calculator take up very little screen real estate, and yet remain entirely usable.
  
• Numerous built-in unit conversions (memory sizes, lengths, areas, volumes, temperatures etc.)
• Built-in great circle route and straight line distance calculators.

Input/Output Formats:

• Input: Hexadecimal, Decimal, Binary, Octal, Boolean, and Characters (ASCII*).
• Output: Hexadecimal (32 bit integer, 32 and 64 bit floating point), Decimal, Binary, Octal, Boolean, Characters (ASCII*, UTF-8 and UTF-16), and Color (24 bit integer).
• Convert automatically between these types in your expression with the keyboard, a button, or a contextual menu.

What users are saying:

• I use iota-calc pretty much on a daily basis to plan out calculations for programming tasks I have. I also use it when helping my son with his homework. -- Steve Mayer
• Very, very useful little app, well worth the money the author is asking for! -- ScottM review of Mac OS X version on MacUpdate.com
• This is a very nice and unique calc, and they are steadily improving it. I'm giving it a five for current usability, improvements, and a GREAT price. Get it now, before demand drives up the cost. -- MikeyK review of Mac OS 8/9 version on VersionTracker.com
