SYNOPSIS
     heXcalc [standard X options]

DESCRIPTION
     _h_e_X_c_a_l_c is a mutli-radix calculator that offers the standard

OPTIONS
     The standard X toolkit options.

OPERATION
     _C_a_l_c_u_l_a_t_o_r _M_o_d_e_s: The calculator operates in several  modes.
     The  modes  are controlled by buttons on the calculator. The
     current mode setting is indicated by setting the correspond-

     _P_o_i_n_t_e_r _U_s_a_g_e: All operations  are  done  with  the  Button1
     (usually  leftmost  button  on  the  pointer).  These can be
     changed using the translation manager.


     _b_u_t_t_o_n _U_s_a_g_e: Most of the buttons are self explanatory  (for
     C programmers).  The others are explained below.


     _1_6/_3_2 buttons: These buttons toggle the  calculator  between
     16 and 32 bit mode.

     _s_g_n/_u_s_g_n buttons: These buttons determine  whether  data  is
     treated as signed (2's complement) or unsinged.


     _C_E/_C button: Clears  the  current  entry  without  affecting
     other settings of the calculator.


     _C button: Clears everything. The display and memory are  set
     to zero.  The mode is set to signed, 32 bit decimal.


KEYBOARD EQUIVALENTS
     All calculator buttons are also available from the keyboard.
     The default bindings are shown below.

     You can rebind the keys to your liking using the X  defaults
     file.   The  action  'doKey("string")'  makes the calculator
     behave as though the button labeled "string" was  hit.   For
     example

               <Key>Return:          DoKey(=)

     binds the return key to act as though the equals button  was
     pressed.


RESOURCES
     heXcalc consists of a a vPaned widget ("wholePane") with two
     panes.  The top pane is a label widget ("display"). The bot-
     tom half is a from widget ("buttonForm") holding the command
     widgets that make up the calculator buttons. The buttons are
     named in such that groups of buttons  have  the  same  name.
     This  allows like buttons to be assigned similar colors with
     a single entry in the .Xdefaults file.  These groups are:

               _N_a_m_e           _B_u_t_t_o_n_s

               baseKey        dec, hex, oct, bin
               controlKey     off, C, CE/C
               evalKey        (, ), =
               sizeKey        16, 32
               signKey        sgn, usgn
               memKey         Stro, Rcl, Clr
               shiftKey       <<, >>
               digitKey       [0-9a-f]
               arithKey       +, -, *, /
               bitKey         ~, |, &, ^
               +/-            +/-


     Two actions are supported.  "DoKey"  (described  above)  and
     "Delete" with deletes the last digit button pressed.

BUGS
     Shift operations probably should have the shift count always
     interpreted as decimal.

     Overflow detection on input leaves something to be desired.
