Hello PIC.ers,

I use the windows ms calculator a lot, for hex <> binary <> dec conversions
and direct calculations in the bases without having to rigmarole
(through eg base10) to get a hex multiply or divide done.

Well & good, the help file says it operates out to 32 digits, but this seems
to only apply to decimal, not hex. which saturates at 6 digits (= 24bits).

Has anyone figured out how to get the thing to go further?
I want to do 64bit or 8 hex. byte calcs.

        best regards,   John
