What is Googolator?

Googolator is a small, fast, arbitrary-precision calculator for those times when you can't be bothered waiting for Mathematica to start up. :-)

Googolator lets you do exact calculations with arbitrarily large numbers (limited only by memory). It can also input/output numbers in any base from 2 to 36. For example, if you want to know what a googol looks like in base 16 then just type in "out 16; 10^100" and hit return. About a millisecond later you'll get the answer:

At the moment only integer arithmetic is supported. You can type in real numbers but they'll be truncated, and the "/" operator behaves like DIV. At some stage I plan to support real arithmetic and programmability (loops, if tests, procedures, etc).

System requirements

Googolator is a Carbonized app that runs natively on OS X. It also runs on OS 8.6/9.x if CarbonLib 1.3 or later is installed.
