PCalc is a fully featured scientific calculator with support for hexadecimal, octal, and binary calculations.

A Dashboard Widget is included with the main application. A special version of the previous PCalc 2 release was included by Apple with most Macs sold in the US during 2002.

What's New:
Added speech support to the application. PCalc can now read your actions and results back to you.
Added many new constants as well as support for plug-ins to provide additional constants in future.
Added two new "Large" calculator styles with big buttons and displays.
Added an option to always display trailing zeros after the decimal point, for use with currency calculations.
Added new unit conversions including a new "Power" category.
Constants are now grouped by subject in hierarchical menus.
You can now map keyboard shortcuts to constants.
Improved support for VoiceOver and Universal Access.
Improved the look of the "Aqua" calculator style.
PCalc is now better at remembering your preferred calculator settings in both the application and the Dashboard Widget.
Fixed a problem where PCalc repeatedly asked if you would like to upgrade the Dashboard Widget if your home folder was on a server.
Fixed a problem editing constants and copying and pasting numbers in the application when the decimal separator was set to characters other than a dot.
The Dashboard Widget also now respects the decimal separator.
