+=**=+› CALCULATOR› BY Robert E. Preston›› EVERYONE NEEDS ONE!› This Program is a simple pocket› calculator on screen. It is written› using OSS MAC/65. I wish to thank Karl› E. Wiegers for his Boot Camp #43 in› Analog Computing for its assistance› with Atari floating point routines.› There now that that is over here comes› the description of the program.›› THE MOTHER OF INVENTION IS NEED!› This program is simply an on› screen calculator. There have been› many times that I needed to do some› simple math when down by my system. It› seems that a simple calculator› function is not built into the Atari's› so I wrote one. It started out to just› be an exercise in the use of MAC/65› that got out of hand. So I offer the› program to you.›› HOW TO:› The use of the program is quite› simple just load the program from DOS.› It functions like a pocket calculator› just enter the numbers and an operator› to get the results. The math functions› supported are addition (+),› subtraction (-), multiplication (*),› division (/), powers of a number (^),› and roots of a number (|). CAVEAT: BE› CAREFUL WITH THE LAST TWO OPERATIONS.› It seems that when using logarithms,› it causes rounding errors that I have› yet to correct properly.›› TRICKS ANYONE?› A couple of neat tricks to the› program is that the result from the› previous calculation is available to› the next as either the first or second› entry. To use the old result just› enter a "M" for the number and the old› result will be used. To exit the› program enter "E" when it asks you to› hit return to continue the screen will› be blanked and operation will be› returned to DOS.›› PASS IT ALONG!› If you like this program feel› free to pass it on (as long as you› include this document). If you would› like a copy of the source listing send› me a donation (shows how to use› floating point and screen positioning› routines). ›› ABOUT ME:› My address is› Robert E.
