Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

I'm confused. I thought *you* were proposing to write a FreeQB. Are you not? Sounds like you are instead asking others to write it for you? I can't write entire FreeQB now. But, I can create a repository on GitHub and GitLab for FreeQB. If people will help to me, I can write some code for

Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

Sort of a simplified version of GNU bc, then? I think that would be really interesting. I hadn't used ACALC before, but looking it up online, it's a simple command line calculator: ACALC {expression} Where {expression} is add, subtract, multiply, divide, modulo .. and various functions like

Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

To me, if there should be a FreeDOS calculator, it might be reasonable to copy the interface of ACALC from PC DOS 7, because PC DOS 7 is basically the next step past MS-DOS 6.22 (IMO). -uso. -- Check out the vibrant

Re: [Freedos-devel] ideas about FreeDOS resident calculator

Hi, well, honestly, I think the most in style way to have an API for FDRC would be to have a way to send strings like 4+sqrt(2) to the calculator and receive a string with the result. Maybe with some extra functions like round(2, 4+sqrt(2)) which would return 5.41 and hex(42) (returns 2a) and

Re: [Freedos-devel] ideas about FreeDOS resident calculator

Hi, well, honestly, I think there's absolutely no use for an API for FDRC. make the CalcResultFromString portion of FDRC a separate source, linkable to every program that likes to have a calculator. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Tom Ehlert +49-241-79886

I support this idea too, and for the operators, let me suggest using C-style ones, given the big amount of C-compatible languages, not only C/C++ but also Java, ecma-script and derivatives, etc. I am not saying to support them all: - there's no sense for =, +=, -=, etc, unless you implement some
