I have a fractional pocket calc, but sometimes it's nice to have one on the pc also. Found this nifty little program (free ) that reads out in both decimal and fractional. Only goes up to x/32" but that's typically all anyone needs for WW anyway. Very simple and easy to use. http://download.cnet.com/Pattern-Making ... 87502.html

It does.

See "calc"


BTW the blank button on the lower right is 31/32". It doesn't display in the fraction window when pressed, but does include it in calculations properly. A small bug I can live with.

There's a few on the CNET download site: http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.ht ... form%3DMac

and probably others available elsewhere.
