Xerter is a programmer's base conversion tool. It's not a calculator and it's not a hex file viewer/editor.

Just base conversions!

about Xerter...

  • The top edit window handles decimal input and output, signed or unsigned, 32 bit or 64 bit.
  • The bottom window handles hexadecimal or binary, input and output, 32 bit or 64 bit.
  • Switch between the different edit modes by pressing the button to the left of the edit window; the current mode is shown as the button text (dec == decimal, bin == binary, hex == hexadecimal, s == signed, u == unsigned, 32 == 32 bits, 64 == 64 bits).
  • Type a number in either window and the converted value appears in the other window as you type.
  • If the value you are entering causes an overflow in the conversion (i.e. converting a 64 bit to a 32 bit value) the other window will be empty.
  • Click and drag numbers to and from other applications that support OLE drag and drop.
  • Numbers dragged in to Xerter will have whitespace characters stripped prior to conversion.
  • Xerter is always "on top". Minimize Xerter any time you want.
  • Xerter runs under Windows NT, 2000, XP, 95, Me, etc.

Testimonials...

  • Xerter is great. It is so easy to convert numbers. It's always exactly where you need it. And the drag and drop feature is so convenient. I use it all the time. --DM (Westminster MA)
