ANYANGLE for Windows
Version 1.12
Copyright (C) 1989-1995 Jim Preston
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 3.1.
STARTING THE PROGRAM: Place the disk in an appropriate
drive, From the Program manager type a:setup <Enter>.
REGISTRATION FEE (USA): $21.95
REGISTRATION FEE (CANADA): $29.95 CANADIAN
REGISTRATION FEE IN OTHER COUNTRIES:
MULTIPLY 28 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
28 by .5583 and you get 15.63. Send that amount in Pounds.
.You can send the payment in the form of a check or
money order..
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.
