- PROGRAM TITLE: ANYANGLE for Windows
-
- DETAILED PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: ANYANGLE is a powerful
- geometry solver which provides an easy, intuitive method of
- finding answers to problems involving triangles, and offers
- scale views and supplementary data to back up the numerical
- results. ANYANGLE includes an interactive scientific
- calculator with automatic memory of all triangle components
- as well as ten user-accessable memories.
-
- INTENDED USER: Engineers, machinists, surveyors,
- carpenters, drafters, hobbyists, students or just about
- anyone at one time or another.
-
- UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM: ANYANGLE is very easy to
- use. The program will solve any triangle when given the
- minimum amount of information, and the known data can be
- entered in any order you wish. ANYANGLE will prompt you with
- the maximum and minimum values allowed at any entry and the
- ANYANGLE program always knows when it has enough data to
- solve the problem, displaying the answers instantly. You can
- then tinker with the solved triangle by changing angles or
- sides, or sizing it to have a certain area, altitude or
- other component or to fit exactly around or inside a given
- circle. The calculator with its 11 visible memory registers,
- one automatic and 10 user controlled, makes this very easy.
- You have a scale view of the triangle as you work
- You can get a complete analysis including area, perim-
- eter, altitude, center of gravity, coordinates of each
- vertex, and data about the inscribed circle and circumcircle
- at the touch of a key. The data can be saved and printed also.
- From 0 to 8 decimal places can be displayed.
- The CALCULATOR uses the algebraic entry
- system and has all the major functions such as powers,
- roots, logarithms and trigonometry as well as degree-minute-
- second and degrees-to-radians conversion operations. It can
- automatically call in any number connected with the last
- triangle by keying in simple two-letter codes, and, of
- course, it can work with all the memories. These codes work
- throughout the program for numerical input.
-
- PROGRAM CAPACITY/LIMITATIONS: Up to 32,767 triangles
- may be saved in the bank.. Triangle accuracy is
- limited to that of Microsoft (R) Visual Basic using double-
- precision variables, or about 17 decimal places maximum.
-
- SPECIAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: An IBM or
- compatible computer with Windows 3.0 or newer, or Windows NT
-
- STARTING THE PROGRAM: Place the disk in an appropriate
- drive, From the Program manager type a:setup <Enter>.

- REGISTRATION FEE (USA): $23.95
- REGISTRATION FEE (CANADA): $32.95 CANADIAN
- REGISTRATION FEE IN OTHER COUNTRIES:
- MULTIPLY 30 BY THE EXCHANGE RATE (VALUE) OF THE US
- DOLLAR IN YOUR COUNTRY'S CURRENCY. SEND PAYMENT IN YOUR
- COUNTRY'S CURRENCY AND NOT IN US DOLLARS!
-
- British example: On the day you register Anyangle you look
- in your newspaper's financial section and find that the
- exchange rate of the US Dollar in Pounds is .5583. Multiply
- 30 by .5583 and you get 16.75. Send that amount in Pounds.
- .You can send the payment in the form of a check or
- money order. Checks must be drawn on a local bank. Your own
- bank is the best to use.
-
- MATERIALS / SERVICES PROVIDED WITH REGISTRATION: Printed
- instructions and the latest update of the registered version
- which adds CURVE solution done in the same style and degree
- of completeness as the triangle solution.
