JUDY'S TENKEY(tm)
Judy's TenKey makes your calculations easier and more reliable. If you use
the default Windows calculator, you'll find that Judy's TenKey gives you
many advantages (see below). If you're still using an old-fashioned desktop
calculator, you'll love the integration Judy's TenKey gives you with your other
Windows applications.
This document provides a brief description of program capabilities,
installation instructions, author contact information, and version history.
This document is also distributed in Windows Write format (read_me.wri); you
may find it easier on the eyes.
<<PROGRAM CAPABILITIES>>
SCROLLING TAPE: Records your calculations in a scrolling list which you can save,
print, and resize (a real help in keeping track of your calculations). You can
also modify tape entries, causing the tape to recalculate, or reuse previous
entries in new calculations (saving typing and reducing errors).
SELECTABLE SYNTAX: Judy's TenKey can process numbers like a
scientific calculator (RPN), an adding machine, or a normal calculator. If
you are familiar with one and not another, you know how difficult and
frustrating it can be to try to switch. Perfect for accountants, engineers, and
you.
CUSTOMIZABLE DISPLAY: You can decide how you want your TenKey
to look (selecting from tape, memory, statistics, functions, trigonometry,
finance, and number pad options), enabling you to optimize screen usage.
Any TenKey function can always be activated via the keyboard regardless of
the current display configuration.
FINANCIAL CALCULATIONS: Judy's TenKey calculates monthly
payments for most loans (e.g., cars, houses, etc.), expected investment
growth, necessary retirement savings, inflation adjustment, and more. Its
easy-to-use dialogs lead you through complex calculations, and records
all responses on the tape (which you can later save, modify, etc.).
STATISTICS: The scrolling tape provides a natural interface for
statistical calculations, including average value, sum, or even standard
deviation. Simply select the desired lines, then press the
appropriate statistics button.
KEEP ON TOP: You can set Judy's TenKey to stay on top of all other
windows, so you quickly calculate something even when editing a document
full-screen.
DECIMAL SETTING: You can set Judy's TenKey to display the number of
decimal positions you prefer, ranging from 0 to "as needed". In fact, you
can configure Judy's TenKey to automatically insert the decimal point for
you (a real favorite with professional accountants). If you frequently
deal with money, you might want to set the decimals to 2 (for cents) or
0 (for dollars).
INTELLIGENT COPY & PASTE: You can copy tape entries to other
applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Notepad. You can also
paste input from these applications. If extraneous text and special formatting
are mixed in with your numbers, Judy's TenKey uses heuristic reasoning to
extract and interpret appropriate information.
EXTRA TOUCHES: Judy's TenKey remembers your favorite screen
position and displays itself there every time. It also uses thousands
separators (e.g., "1,000,000" versus "1000000"), displays negative numbers in
red, and allows you to use the backspace key to edit results for further
calculation. Judy's TenKey provides an extensive help system, an introductory
demonstration, and a "Tip of the Day" feature.
BETTER PERFORMANCE: Judy's TenKey enables you to work faster and
more reliably. Once you can see (and reuse!) the numbers in your
calculations, you will never return to the default Windows calculator.
Plus, Judy's TenKey uses a proprietary algorithm to ensure superior precision
(try subtracting "750.35 - 750.30" using the Microsoft calculator: it
doesn't work!). We're so sure that you'll love using Judy's TenKey that we
invite you to try it for free. Simply send in the registration fee if you
decide to keep it.
<<PROGRAM INSTALLATION>>
REQUIREMENTS: Version 3.0 of Judy's TenKey requires Windows version 3.1
or better (a separate Windows NT version is available) and a 386 or better
processor. Including the tutorial demonstration, it uses 370K of disk space.
INSTRUCTIONS: To install Judy's TenKey, simply run its installation
program (install.exe) from the Windows File Manager. This installation
program prompts you for additional information, allows you to cancel the
installation, demonstrates its main features, and even offers to uninstall
the program if you decide not to keep it.
REGISTRATION: Judy's TenKey is provided as copyrighted software; the
registration fee is a modest $19.95. Registered user receive the latest
version of the program, as well as a free copy of Judy's CountDown (TM), a
fun program that helps you track important dates.
