ProtoCal is a powerful calculator for the MacOS, designed to showcase the Macintosh’s most unique and powerful features. It supports Apple Events, AppleScript, OS8 Appearance Manager, Drag and Drop, Text-To-Speech, and even Speech Recognition.
It can be operated entirely via voice commands, for those don’t always have their hands free. It can repeat back to you what you’re typing for those who don’t always watch what they’re typing. It can undo the last thing you typed. It can even be scripted. In fact, it supports its own internal scripting system that allows you to save formulas and apply them to future calculations. Included are formulas for sales tax (based on .0825%), and computing 30% of calories for those constantly on a diet.
Within the scripting system, there’s support for the following commands:
Round
Mod
Square
Square Root
Sine
Cosine
Tangent
Percent
New scripts can be easily added and removed.
ProtoCal SR/V 1.0 is improvementWare. If you like it, send me ideas for improvements. If and when I release a newer version as shareware, if your improvement makes it into that version, you’ll get a free copy and recognition for your idea!
