On-Top Calculator Release Notes:
--------------------------------
This is a very short doc, since On-Top Calculator's use is obvious!
I designed On-Top Calculator to look like a *real* hand-held calculator
(like the ones they're always giving away with magazine subscriptions,
etc.) instead of like a Windows program. Thus, no min/max buttons,
system icon, etc. If you need to get it out of the way temporarily,
just drag it down off the screen until just the title bar is showing.
It'll still stay "on top" and you can still switch to it with the
ALT-TAB or CTRL-ESC keys. Also, just like a *real* calculator, hit
"OFF" to put it away instead of File-Exit or some other malarkey.
The only known bug (so far) is that there is some rounding error
in calculations with long decimal runouts. This is due to the
internal data type that is used for the numbers, and if enough
people complain I'll fix it, though it means rewriting a lot of
the program. To see this bug, enter 8 divided by 9 then multiply the
result back by 9 again. Instead of 8, you get 8.0000000001. (Actually,
this "bug" makes the calculator a lot like the "el cheapo" giveaway
calculators I'm trying to simulate! Four out of five that I tested did
the same thing, so maybe I'll leave it in anyway, as a "feature" <grin>).
Comments, suggestions, complaints and (of course) $9.95 registrations
are appreciated! Remember to see the "About" box for more info, too.
