NUMBERCRUNCH II  is on the way!

I've been working steadily on a major upgrade to NumberCrunch, which I hope to have done and ready to sell for about $50 or so this summer. (By the way, if anyone out there has a suggestion for a good way for me to market this, I'm all ears...)

     NumberCrunch II already has (as of 3/90)   
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
 •  arrays,   for example
         j=2,5,7  
         x = 1…10@.2          which sets x = 1, 1.2, 1.4, ... 10
         y  = sin(x)/x            which takes sin(x)/x for each value of x
         y[j]  = y[2], y[5], y[7]

•  Pascal-like programs, for example
         Function Integrate(theFunc, theMin, theMax, dx)
         var  j
         begin
            j = theMin…theMax@dx     # sets j = to an array
            Integrate = dx* sum(  theFunc(j) )
         end
   ( then if f(x) = x^2,  Integrate(f,1,2,.01) gives  .01*[ 1^2+ 1.01^2 + 1.02^2 +...+ 2^2 ] =  2.35835 )

•  complex numbers and functions (sin, cos, exp, etc.) of complex arguments,

•  strings    (so that the pascal-like programs can format their output),

•   multiple files open and multiple windows per file in the application,

•  externally compiled Xcod resources to perform specialized functions (like fast-fourer transforms,)

•  command completion,

      and it will have :    
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
•  matrices and higher dimension arrays,

• units (kg, m, sec, etc.) 

•  spread-sheet like entry of matrices and arrays, or entry from a data file

•  better graphics, including vectors and contour plots.

 So keep your eyes out for it. It'll be worth waiting for. (I hope).
