A programmer's calculator/converter?

[j7n]

Does anybody know a small program for basic old Windows without any Frameworks, which can convert between data types such as floating-point and hexadecimal, similar to how the Data Interpreter panel in HxD works? It should probably have more useful functionality.

I don't know the keywords for finding this kind of tool on the web. I stumbled upon some webpages that offer conversion functionality in the browser, but it is very inefficient to open the browser for this and to rely on a website to be reachable.

Have a look at Speedcrunch:

Though cannot say if it can do exactly what you want (but you can write formulas in it).

Thank you for the recommendation. This is a deep program with a learning curve, and will prove useful. Starts reasonably fast. It can do it what I wanted if not in the most convenient fashion by calling a function.
