[Freedos-user] FoxCalc: New version on-line... v0.83
Hi, It's me... Again ;-) Just to say that I released a new version of FoxCalc. It's basically just a bug-fix release (ie. no new features here), but worth to download anyway. :) What's new in v0.83: - Fixed a little mouse's cursor display bug when clicking on buttons, - Fixed thousand sep. insertion (appeared sometimes on the number's front), - Switching to scientific notation (00E+00) for numbers = 1, - Added overflow checking for x!, - Compiled with FreeBASIC v0.17b. Of course, there is still much to do before the 1.0 version... - Add compatibility with monochrome screen modes, - Emulating PCOPY (restoring initial screen before quitting), - Checking for overflow before any operations, - Fix large number + fract storing (eg. 999'999'999.99), - Add a config file for color schemes, - Backspace key to remove last typed number...

Hello Mateusz, a) try to enter 5.55 (shouldn't result in 5) b) try x^2 a couple of times (application crashes) tom Tuesday, May 22, 2007, 11:45:54 AM, you wrote: Hi, It's me...

Overflow bugs aren't fixed yet (currently, the only overflow-proof function is x!), they will be fixed in the next version. Anyway, to get such bug you would have to work with _really_ big numbers :-) Bye!

I use the calc utility of Windows fairly often so I see no reason why FreeDOS wouldn't have such a tool included.

That's what I think too :) As for Foxcalc I can say that in my view, a calculator application (I mean, for human beings) is always good. I use the calc utility of Windows fairly often so I see no reason why FreeDOS wouldn't have such a tool included. I am using a calc tool too - not the win's calc, but KCalc under Suse. Anyway, the point is the same - it's always good to have a simple calc tool, no matter under which OS. If possible, adding a scientific mode would be nice (sin, cos, tan, displaying say 100 as 1E06, brackets, basic stats (ie enter your data and see characteristic values like standard deviation, mean etc. when finished). I don't use these functions anymore, I tried to keep FoxCalc as simle as I could, without such expert things (I added MOD just because it was trivial to do so). Personally, I never use functions like sin/cos/tan etc, so I don't feel such need... the 1E06 notation is automatic when when the display number gets to high. Brackets are pretty hard to implement now, as I designed FoxCalc from the begin as a replacement for all those cheap hand calculator, so it have the memory for only 2 numbers (the result + currentWorkNumber)... In fact, the only time in my life when I needed such scientific calculations was when I was at the university... I think that if someone needs an advanced calculator, he should rather look after CALC387 or FDRC... A backspace key to erase the most recently entered character might be useful, too. Right, that could be okay... I should implement that before the 1.0 version. Also note that FoxCalc doesn't return any error message when you divide a number by zero or when you try to get the square root of a negative number. You're wrong. FoxCalc checks those conditions, and if division by zero or square negative, it returns Inf. Another possible bug: try 9 999 999 999 999 999 * 9 999 999 999 999. Note the content of the calculator's screen. And then press x^2 until FoxCalc returns an error: it doesn't seem to check overflow. I didn't checked that before... :( I will have to fix that soon. FDCalc sounds nice and has less than 8 letters. Right :) I'm waiting to see if I got some similar answers (so far, I got only two answers, including yours...). If no interest from other FreeDOS user's, I will just stay with FoxCalc...

[Freedos-user] FoxCalc: New version on-line.
Hi guys! As I got some support questions/suggestions/bug reports, I have updated FoxCalc. What's new in FoxCalc v0.82: - Fixed the divide by 0 MOD bug, - Updated the LICENCE.TXT file (FSF address has changed), - Added an descriptive *.LSM file to the package, - Added my email address to the ? command, - Changed % behavior in case of addition or subtraction (x+y% = x+x*y%), - Codepage detection (buttons are ok on all codepages).. Thanks DrV!, - Added thousand separator (taken from the operating system's settings). Still UPX'ed with an old UPX version, as I haven't updated my compressor yet, but next version should be packed with UPX 3.0. Download here: http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/dos/en/foxcalc.htm Do you think FreeDOS needs such a calc application? I know there is already FDRC, which is a resident calculator, but haven't a nice TUI like FoxCalc ;-P Please give your opinions! If you think FoxCalc is something worth to stick onto FreeDOS, please tell here. That way I would rename the next version to, say, FDCalc, or FreeDOS Calc, or anything, to make it an official part of the FreeDOS project.
