Alternate Calculator

While the default calculator tool in older Windows has some advanced functions, there are still some features that certain users may want. This is where Alternate Calculator comes in. It is just as powerful as the default calculator, but it comes with some extra features, like currency translation or number system conversion. The application has a decent amount of special functions to offer and it keeps everything simple.

Alternate Calculator is offered completely free of charge and it can be used on any Windows version, from the obsolete Win NT 4 to the new and shiny Win 10. It can be installed almost instantly, even on older machines, without having to meet any special requirements.

You can probably guess how the user interface looks like. The application uses the traditional layout of a scientific calculator. You can click its buttons to make any basic or advanced calculations or use your keyboard. The results are displayed instantly, on the same window. It is also possible to enable a factor and a bill sheet view.

Besides making numerical calculations, you can also transform your values to binary, hex or to a custom system. Furthermore, the application lets you convert between currencies. You can simply specify an amount and click the target currency in the lower part of the interface. It supports a number of currencies, but you can add new ones, with specific rates.

If you want more than a simple calculator tool, then Alternate Calculator is exactly what you should look at.
