I don't like standards hehehe, i'm kidding, i didn't know about that standard, BiByCal is simply based in an online calculator (http://www.speedguide.net/conversion.php), BiByCal gives the same result as the calculator at speedguide.

To BeOS Mr.X, i didn't know that limitations but the online calculator has them too.

What i want to say is that BiByCal is an offline version of SpeedGuide calculator that doesn't follor the IEC 60027-2 standard and with its limitations.

Anyway thanks for the comments, it's always great to receive comments :-).
If you find a bug or have any suggestion, please tell me.

oh yeah

I forgot to remind krezii of that when I suggested this app to be made. But then what happens to kilobits vs kilobytes? 1000 for each?

The correct units are:

1 kilobyte (KB) = 1000 byte
1 kibibite (KiB) = 1024 bytes
1 kilobit (Kb) = 1000 bit
1 kibibyte (Kib) = 1024 bit

and so on...
