Is there a good calculator app?
In windows, I have used Calc98, which is good. Apple's calculator is a pile of rubbish: most notably, they programmed it using doubles instead of BCDs as they should have. In other words, with certain numbers there are noticable rounding errors, which are extremely annoying. Mostly, the annoyance is because the rounding errors throw-off quick visual inspection of the stack.
Does anyone know a calc app on the mac that supports RPN and doesn't have the annoying rounding errors?
Thanks.

I like using programs like MathPad where you can put in whole expressions and then edit any part or copy/paste. I hate having to retype long calculations.

I don't know about RPN but this one can do arbitrary precision. It is a terminal application though, like bc.
It has simple and advanced operations, I use advanced for conversions and the like. It's free, so the price is right .
You might want to check out PCalc.
i use pcalc as well. nice program and it comes with a dashboard widget. very handy to be able to access and rpn calc while still being able to see the work windows.
