I don't know if some end-user application exists. Otherwise, perhaps
you can modify an existing application to display the FP numbers in
hexadecimal, as the C standard now allows you to do so (use the %a
format for printf...). You can also write a very simple calculator
from scratch; it shouldn't require much time.
