Hello community,

Today I want to present to you a new tool for the N900 called HexTool. It is a small application which calculates or converts from hexadecimal to decimal, to bin, to octal and vice versa on the fly. It is really nice for bit manipulations and I using it quite a long time on my windows maschine.
Now I can use it with all my operating systems.

All values are editable so you can put a new hexdecimal value, decimal value, change single bits, put an ip address or ASCII chars. It will automatically calculate other fields for you.

The "<<" and ">>" is for shift operations in the current register.
The "flip" button performs an endian swap from the hexadecimal value.
The "not" button inverts the binary.
The "neg" button gives the inverse decimal value (signed mode).
The "small plus and minus" button increases or decreases the decimal value by one.
The "one or zero" button change the label from the binary starting with 1 or with 0.
The "clr" button clears the current register.

With the other buttons you can do bit calculations.
Therefore you can register your numbers in A and B and make logical and mathematical operations. The result is shown in register C.
You can change the register by pushing the radio buttons.
You can switch between signed and unsigned and you can set the bit size to 8,16 or 32bit.


In the end this programm is a converter and calculator. It is also very useful when you want to encrypt and decrypt some numbers.

Thanks to Ryan Harkin who was so kind and uploaded his initial QT version source code after my request. Before he published only pictures.
I changed the gui a little bit and also some routine that handling the gui. Furthermore I added some more options and fixed a compiler bug so it should calculate right on all platforms now.
Not 100% finger friendly for big fingers...However we have a stylus pen.
