Calculator Ii

Calculator II v1.5 Copyright 1991-94, Joe Cicinelli. Purpose: Calculator II is a pleasant looking color multi-function calculator that runs as an application under system 6.x or System 7. The calculator was written as an application to be run under MultiFinder or System 7 alongside other applications. It improves on AppleUs original calculator by adding trigonometric functions, functions for base 10 and natural logorithms and their inverses, hex-to-decimal and decimal-to-hex conversion, a percent increase/decrease key, a memory function for storing values across uses of the program, and all of these functions can be invoked by using the F-Keys on the Apple Extended keyboard (F5 - F15). The calculator also allows users to correct trailing digits of values entered on the display of the calculator through the use of a backspace key. A Ticker Tape is also provided to display the results of past calculations. Balloon help and general information about the program is available under either the Help menu under System 6.x or the Balloon Help menu under System 7. This software is being distributed as FREEware so give it a try and let me know what you think! This version of the calculator contains the following bug fixes and enhancements: - Fixed the mechanism for producing error dialogs. - Added an option in the preferences dialog for showing the thousands separator on both the display and ticker tape of the calculator. - The Ticker Tape now will automatically open when the program launched if it was left open the last time the calculator was used! - Fixed an annoying flash in the help window when opened from About dialog box. - Changed the format of the Preferences file (again!). Throw out your old Calculator II Prefs file before using this version of the calculator. - Fixed a bug that permitted the entry of a decimal separator in a Hex value. - Fixed a bug that permitted the entry of Hex values as input to the Hex function. - Added support for non-U.S. formatted decimal and thousands place separators (finally!). These characters can be changed from the Numbers control panel under System 7. - The calculator now does a better job remembering and restoring windows on multiple montior systems.
