NAME
EasyCalc - Scientific calculator for Palm's
REQUIREMENTS
Palm or PalmPilot with at least PalmOS 2.0 and about 70-110K of free
memory, plus 50K for MathLib.
INSTALLATION
Install files MathLib.prc and one of the other 'calc *.prc' files.
-
These other files are all versions of one program, but usually without
some features, because space on Palm is a valuable resource and some
people may want to sacrifice features for space. Currently there are:
calc all.prc, calc small.prc (no graphs, no special functions) and
- -
calc graph.prc (graphs, but no special functions).
-
If you already have some older version of EasyCalc installed, please
remove it before installing this version - you may experience weird
behaviour if you don't because some of the data format changed. Start-
ing from version 1.02, I no longer use LibEasy, because I got new prc-
tools and I can create larger binaries. Please, remove LibEasy from
your Pilot (if you can't find it in the list of applications, try Cal-
cDB-OpCl, it sometimes gets renamed), you would be wasting space if you
didn't. I'm neither author nor maintainer of MathLib, so if you have
questions about this library, look at http://www.radiks.net/~rhueb-
ner/mathlib.html.
BUGS
Due to floating point implementation in computers you will probably
experience some differences when adding/subtracting a larger number
from a smaller one (e.g. 1-1E-15). It is all the same on all calcula-
tors I have ever seen, you will have to get used to it..

Many thanks to Rafael R. Sevilla <dido@pacific.net.ph> who added many
mathematical functions I do not know.
Some small portion of code is from <Antonio.FIOL@enst-bretagne.fr> who
helped me to add PYR support.
And of course there are other people who sent suggestions and correc-
tions to the tutorial.
