Need Calculator Program - Fractions

[DanMichSr]

I'm looking for a program that will +-*/ fractions i.e.
2 7/8 x 3 15/16 The Texas Instrument T-74 Fraction Calculator works great that way but would like to have something for my e740 Toshiba
:D Thanks in Advance

See if any of these (http://www.pdacentral.com/pocket/financecalculators.html) or these (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/enc/subcat.asp?cat=103) do what you need...

Any of the HP's emus rom will do that 38, 48GX, 49G (GPL license)
Saltire will do that too. (HP's abandoned researchware)

I'm a big fan of Math Xpander (http://www.saltire.com/xpander.html). It's to Mathmatica what Pocket Excel is to Excel, but it does 2D graphs and other useful operations (and best of all, it's free).

I've been using eval for quite a while and it's good enough for me, perhaps you should give it a try, besides it's free

Arrrggg. I think you guys are a bit off the mark.
I had a HP48 and it really didn't do fractions, I had to write a program to make it work. Architects and Builders want to take 6'3-3/4" and add 4'2-1/2" (thus six feet, three and three quarters inches plus four feet two and one half inches) and get 10'6-1/4"
I think the difficulty is that to add fractions of an inch, it needs to stay and/or reduce to a fraction, and the inches to feet portion is like dealing with a "base 12" number system rather than a "base 10" like the even feet deal with. I typically saw this as a FIF (or Feet/Inch/Fraction) calculator.....I have the code for a HP48 but have not located a good way to do these on m iPAQ.

Any suggestions......hope this clarified what I think the FIF should do.

HP49G does fraction addition, just turn off the 'approximate mode'. I am not sure how to enter feet and inch directly in HP49G since it's not my main calculator, and the online manual is really sad.

but I got the feeling you can do it just like in TI89 inputting unit and all.

Search for "Qcalc" -- tiny calculator modelled after the casios. Meets my needs very well. Remember to set the option "show extra exp if result" or else you might get errors for very large numbers

how about trig programs that would take the place of a ti-83/89? really hate having to lug both around, and the pocket pc has a better cool factor. ;)
