2.  Huge Number Calculator (beta)

An executable programme that can perform basic calculations on huge numbers.  Many personal computers cannot calculate numbers greater than 10 to the power of 15 with precision.  As you can see from the screen shot, this calculator can handle huge numbers!  This is still in 'beta' stage so please e-mail me with any issues or inaccuracies.  Please note that it doesn't yet have detailed error checking and when performing division, the calculator does not yet calculate the part beyond the decimal point.  It also assumes the larger number is the numerator when performing division, and when performing subtraction calculations it deducts the smaller number from the larger number.  The calculator does not yet handle decimal or negative numbers (look for that in the next version).

3.  Number Combinations

An executable programme to work out the combinations of numbers in any base.  For example, to work out the combinations of numbers in base 2 to two digits, this programme will provide the results (i.e. 00, 01, 10 and 11) in an easy to read text file.

5.  My PC Information (beta)

A small programme to extract a few pieces of useful information from your Windows-based PC.  This is still being developed to accommodate varying operating systems as well as varying numbers of MAC addresses and hard drives.  This software has been tested on Windows XP and 98 PC's but is having issues correctly identifying the MAC address so don't be alarmed if it returns 0.  Please e-mail any issues to me.
