- SCIENTIFIC and ENGINEERING TOOL
- For LOTUS(R) 1-2-3
-
-
-
- WELCOME
-
- This program is an easy to use, completely menu driven program
- designed for the use of the Lotus 1-2-3 user who deals with number
- crunching and likes the way Lotus works. If you know Lotus 1-2-3 you
- already know this program. Because this tool operates with 1-2-3 style
- command, menus, formulas, etc. you can start working without having to
- learn a new program, so your investment in in 1-2-3 training is
- preserved and enhanced.
-
- The program includes a sophisticated programmable calculator and
- solver which can do:
-
- 1. Simple arithmetic
- 2. Functions editing (programming) and functions calculations
- 3. Physical units definition and conversion
- 4. Integration and Differentiation of functions and data tables
- 5. Editing and calculating statistic functions on list of numbers
- 6. Frequency distribution and normal distribution
- 7. Curve fitting (4 types)
- 8. Root finding (including non-linear equations)
- 9. Matrix operations
- 10. Simultaneous linear equation
-
- Statistical functions and any other functions and units are user
- programmable. Therefore this program can become the user's custom
- scientific handbook. The user can program thousands of functions:
- from one variable functions to seven variables functions and by
- splitting functions of higher number of variables to groups of
- functions of seven variables and less, to solve more complicated
- problems.
-
- Integration and differentiation is done on functions inserted from
- the keyboard or on data tables imported as a text file. The program
- enables a graph of the function before and after integration or
- differentiation and allows saving the numeric data tables and the
- graphs for later use.
-
- The distribution functions are build-in with the program and are
- working on a list of numbers inserted from the keyboard or imported
- as a text file. These functions produce a graph of the distribution
- and allows the saving of the graph as a .PIC file and the data as a
- text file for later use.
-
- The program already includes a large number of common used functions
- and units and the user can edit them or add as much as he likes. The
- user can use this program to keep track of his spreadsheets, and by
- using a keyword instead of a function he can activate a whole
- spreadsheet.
-
- Because this program was written in LOTUS macro language, when the
- user retrieves another program this program erases itself and leaves
- the full memory for the new spreadsheet. The user can create a small
- macro in his spreadsheets which will retrieve this program
- automatically when quitting.
-
-
- 2. GETTING STARTED
-
-
- To start this program start LOTUS 1-2-3 and use the File/Retrieve
- command to retrieve the file ATOOL.WK1, the program will automatically
- start and the next screen will appear:

- This is an important feature, it gives the user the way to save all the
- new formulas, units and statistic functions he created. This option
- updates the formulas file on the disk (FORMULAS.WK1).
