This is a small Scientific Calculator that supports full precedence.
It does not support Exponential Notation, but does include a number of
functions (including Trigonometric, Hyperbolic, & Logarithmic - Base 10,
Base 2 & Natural), Paper Trail, Clipboard Support, History of results and
more.
Coming Soon: ESBCalc Suite - a commercial set of Calculators like ESBCalc
that include heaps of extra features, full help system, Exponential
Notation, better customisation and much more. Will also include a much
improved Unit Conversion Utility, a Complex Number Calculator and
other Calculators.
Send email to esbcalc@esbconsult.com.au if you wish to be kept informed.

Notes on the Calculator
=======================
1. Results are only entered into the History List when the "=" button is
pressed. Only the last 10 items are remembered and these are stored in the
registry. There is also the option in the History list to clear previous
items.
2. 10^x can be calculated using INV and LOG buttons, or by entering 10
and then using the x^y button.
3. e^x can be calculated using INV and LN buttons, or by pressing the
"e" button and then using the x^y button
4. 2^x can be calculated using INV and LG2 buttons, or by entering 2
and then using the x^y button.
5. x^1/y (i.e. the y-th root of x) can be calculated using INV and x^y
buttons.
6. Inverse exist for all the Trigonometric functions by using the INV
button than one of SIN, COS or TAN buttons.
7. Hyperbolic functions are done by first pressing the HYP button and
then one of SIN, COS or TAN buttons.
8. Inverse Hyperbolic Functions are done by pressing INV then HYP (order
does not matter so HYP then INV is also okay) then one of SIN, COS or
TAN buttons.
9. The Radian/Degree toggle, the number of decimal places and the contents
of Memory are saved to the Registry. As is the History. The contents of
the Paper Trail are not saved.
10. Using the Thousand's separator is on by default - use the option button
next to the Memory display to change this. Copying and pasting results
with Thousand's separators may upset some edit fields.
11. Decimal Point and Thousand's separator should be displayed in what ever
character the Regional Settings of your MS Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 is setup
for. If you expect to see a ',' for a decimal point but don't then you may
still have US (or something similar) settings.
Known Problems
==============
1. Due to the lack of support for Scientific Notation, ESBCalc does sometimes
cause "funny" things to happen when number get too large.
2. ESBCalc may not view correctly when "Large Fonts" are used and certain
Themes. Try selecting a different Font and/or Theme. We have tried to improve
on this with v3.
