ZvBNew additions in beta 2.46 ...
Text2EBCDIC (Text functions)
For all the mainframe people, obsessed with hex
Calculations (Computers)
For anyone interested in ATM (the transfer mode not the cash machines)
Cascading menu improvement
Code now improved speedwise and now supports full cycles on the menu (if you press "up" when you are on the top selection, the selector will go to the bottom etc.)
Fractional inch lengths
In the Length conversions, it now supports using fractional inches:
e.g.:
2"3/12 = 2.25 inches
1"3/6 = 1.5 inches
BUT 1"1 = 1+1 = 2 inches!
as the part after the " is evaluated and added to the part before
