- -- About Duco 1.1 --
-
- 'Duco' is Latin for 'to calculate'. Duco is a standard 4-function
- calculator with one key difference -- it works in Roman numerals.
-
- Duco was written and compiled on-board a Palm III using Quartus Forth. It's
- a freeware demonstration of Quartus' ability to produce tight, fast,
- stand-alone apps.
-
- Check out both Quartus and the source to Duco at:

-
- Duco only operates on Roman numbers in the range {0..65535}. Any value
- outside of this range will result in an error.
-
- A line appearing over a Roman numeral multiplies its value by 1000.
-
- Duco is intelligent about Roman numbers, and won't allow an invalid number
- to be entered.
-
- Have fun!
