Fractions with Calculators

I have been looking for a calculator that will allow you do express decimals as fractions.

I had a scientific calculator years ago, when I was in high school, that would actually let you turn 0.25 into 1/4 on the calculator screen.

Are there any programs, or perhaps a feature in the HS Calc, that will produce that output?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Shakes

Parens, the full version of Parens lite that comes with Visors may be able to do it. Check out the manual. There is a "frac" button on the Handspring version, but as far as I can tell, all it does it take away the integer. e.g. 5.77775 becomes 0.77775

Yeah, Parens does the same thing.

I actually found a program on PalmGear that lets you do fractions. It's method is a little weird, but nonetheless, it works!

For example: 1 3/4 would be inputted as: 1.3.4 and so forth. It will then give you an answer in the same format. And it really works!

Thanks for the help!
