: COMMENT =       terminal based bit manipulator

it might be nice to include the word "calculator" in COMMENT somehow.
maybe this?

COMMENT =       terminal based calculator and bit manipulator

and a couple of nit-picking ones:

: Bitwise is multi base interactive calculator supporting dynamic base

             a multi base

: conversion and bit manipulation. It's a handy tool for low level
: hackers, kernel developers and device drivers developers.
: 
: Some of the features include:
: 
: Interactive ncurses interface

Either add a . above, or remove from the following

: Command line calculator supporting all bitwise operations.
: Individual bit manipulator.
: Bitwise operations such as NOT, OR, AND, XOR, and shifts.
