OFFLINE Calculator & Program suggestions

[dubbleUJay]

Guys I've got a few OFFLINE calculators and programs I use most of the time to do calculations and stuff with. (NOT online stuff as an Internet-connection WILL go down when you need it most!)
Would you please post these type of Apps here for all to see or use please?
Applications applicable to this Forum that you use over & over again and would like to share with us. A short description would be great as well.

Well, I better put my words into practice, so here goes 2:
I like it when an app covers a few calculations and don't do just one thing. Also when they are stand alone with no install.

Geometry (As the name says and also conversions between metric and imperial)
http://homepage.mac.com/teast/index.html (Little down the page)
Description from website:
"Geometry is a calculator which uses many of the formulas found in geometry. The program will calculate surface area and volume of a variety of geometric figures such as prisms, cone, sphere, pyramids, torus and cylinder. The software will perform calculations involving the pythagorean theorem, sine, cosine, tangent, special triangles, regular polygons, circles, arcs, triangles, squares, rectangles, distance, slope, midpoint, Trigonometry, and coordinate geometry. The interface includes drawings of each scenario and the formulas involved in the calculation."

Electronics Assistant (This one does a lot of stuff, incl Power, Capacitance, Inductance exec.)
http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/
Description from the Help file:
"Electronics Assistant is a small program designed to perform basic electronics-related calculations. It includes a resistor colour code calculator, resistor, capacitor and potential divider calculators and more."

I also use Microsoft Calculator Plus for conversions, but it does not remember my last actions so I have to set it up every time!   This is annoying when I'm working with say Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions which I do a lot on this Forum and have to go through the motions every time I open it! I don't have anything else at the moment, so I use it.

Any ideas and additions guys?

Oh-yes, did I mention that I "hate" a program that, when I click the little red cross to close it, it comes along and ask me if I'm sure that I want to close it! AAARRRGGG!  Some of the above does that, sorry!

For conversions, i use Convert.exe by Josh Madison:

I've written a small program to calculate cable loss and cable area for a given distance/amp/acceptable loss, which i can attach here if there are any interest; dl-size about 500kb. (Originally in Norwegian, but i've made an english version too... (Both Metric...))

Edit:
Seems like the forum doesn't accept either .exe (which is good!) or .rar/.zip, so i put a rar file for download at my server:
http://www.mwlmf.net/prog/cablecalc_v1_1us.rar

Now, the program was hastily translated from Norwegian to English, so please excuse glitches. Also, decimal separator are comma, not a dot; tell me if this is a problem, and i'll fix it.

Extract anywhere and run it. It only leaves an .ini file; nothing else...

Edit2:
I've modified all the entries so it expect a period as decimal separator, since that's probably what most users here are used to...
The link above has been modified to the new version; i've added 'US' to the version number...

Please do Cornelius, I'm not sure if one can post executable files here though, maybe you'll have to provide a link and upload it to somewhere else.
I don't know, maybe the forum software will except it, I've never tried it

That reminds me guys and you all know this: SCAN ALL DOWNLOADS FOR VIRUSES!!!
Not at all aimed at you Cornelius, you'll understand, I'm sure.

I edited my first post and added a link...

Cornelius, Convert for Windows is great, it remembers where I was using it the last time I opened it and it seems like it has every conversion I can think of offhand. 

Your Cable Calculator is also one of the things I was looking for and its also great. No install, straight forward and easy to use. The comma is a bit distracting if one are used to a "." and a "," for thousands separator like me, but not a train smash.
If you can easily change it and you do, please let me know so that I can download the new version.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

It's done. All entries/numbers are now with a period for decimal separator.
The link to the new version are in my first post... (keeping it there, to keep the thread clean... )

And yes; Convert.exe are just as such programs should be; small, clean and simple - and doing it's job.

I was looking for a calculator which will tell me how to arrive at a known target value for resistance, either by connecting resistors in series or parallel from available industry standard values.

I found this Resistor Combination Calculator: (pc.exe)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rombos/files/

It works, but is in beta, anyone know of another free one they can recommend please?
