Does anyone know of any way to get the XP standard calculator to produce
results with a fixed number of decimals rounded off?

Or is there a calculator that will replace the standard issue, with is
ability?

If you have Excel, you might consider using it for calculations instead
of that built into Windows as you can set the number of decimal places.

There's a newer free calculator from the Microsoft downloads page. Don't
know if it does decimal rounding though.
