Introduction
PCalc 4 is a brand new version of my veteran calculator application.
It is a fully featured scientific calculator for macOS with support for hexadecimal, octal and binary calculations, as well as an optional RPN mode, parentheses, programmable functions, and an extensive set of unit conversions.

- Stylish, consistent user interface.
