- +Doug, it's obvious that Matt knows that these functions are not part of

- +Matt, Doug may be trying to say that you will find more satisfaction if
- +you post your request in a newsgroup that is more focussed to your specific
- +problem domain. There are calculator specific newsgroups. The way that
- +I find these groups is to use AltaVista
- +
- + http://www.altavista.digital.com/
- +
- +to search "Usenet" (use the drop-down box to select "Usenet" ... the default is
- +"the Web") for your interest ("calculators", for example). The search will return
- +all recent posts to Usenet that contained that term, and it will indicate
- +the name of the newsgroup for each post.
-
- Larry, I think Matt is looking for someone to do his homework for him. That's why I wasn't any
- more helpful.
-
- Matt, if I'm wrong, I apologize.
