JUDY'S TENKEY(tm)
Judy's TenKey is an award-winning program that will make your calculations
easier and more reliable. If you use the default Windows calculator, you'll
find that Judy's TenKey gives you many advantages (see below). If you're
still using an old-fashioned desktop calculator, you'll love the integration
Judy's TenKey gives you with your other Windows applications.
This file contains installation instructions, a brief description of program
capabilities, contact information, and version history. This document is
also distributed in Windows Write format (read_me.wri); you may find it
easier on the eyes.
<<PROGRAM INSTALLATION>>
REQUIREMENTS: Version 4.0 of Judy's TenKey requires Windows version 3.1
or better (an exclusive Windows 95/NT version is available) and a 386 or
better processor. Including the tutorial demonstration, it uses 370K of
disk space.
INSTRUCTIONS: To install Judy's TenKey, simply run its installation
program (install.exe) from within Windows. This installation
program prompts you for additional information, allows you to cancel the
installation, demonstrates its main features, and even offers to uninstall
the program if you decide not to keep it.
REGISTRATION: Judy's TenKey is provided as copyrighted software; the
registration fee is a modest $19.95. Registered user receive the latest
version of the program, as well as a free copy of Judy's CountDown (TM), a
fun program that helps you track important dates.
<<PROGRAM CAPABILITIES>>
SCROLLING TAPE: Records your calculations in a scrolling list which you can
annotate, save, print, and resize (a real help in keeping track of your
calculations). You can also modify tape entries, causing the tape to
recalculate, or reuse previous entries in new calculations (saving typing
and reducing errors).
SELECTABLE SYNTAX: Judy's TenKey can process numbers like a
scientific calculator (RPN), an adding machine, or a normal calculator. If
you are familiar with one and not another, you know how difficult and
frustrating it can be to try to switch. Perfect for accountants, engineers,
and you.
CUSTOMIZABLE DISPLAY: You can decide how you want your TenKey
to look (selecting from tape, memory, statistics, functions, trigonometry,
finance, and number pad options), enabling you to optimize screen usage.
Any TenKey function can always be activated via the keyboard regardless of
the current display configuration.
FINANCIAL CALCULATIONS: Judy's TenKey calculates monthly
payments for most loans (e.g., cars, houses, etc.), expected investment
growth, necessary retirement savings, inflation adjustment, and more. Its
easy-to-use dialogs lead you through complex calculations, and records
all responses on the tape (which you can later save, modify, etc.).
STATISTICS: The scrolling tape provides a natural interface for
statistical calculations, including average value, sum, standard
deviation, and more. Simply select the desired lines, then press the
appropriate statistics button.
KEEP ON TOP: You can set Judy's TenKey to stay on top of all other
windows, so you quickly calculate something even when editing a document
full-screen.
DECIMAL SETTING: You can set Judy's TenKey to display the number of
decimal positions you prefer, ranging from 0 to "as needed". In fact, you
can configure Judy's TenKey to automatically insert the decimal point for
you (a real favorite with professional accountants). If you frequently
deal with money, you might want to set the decimals to 2 (for cents) or
0 (for dollars).
INTELLIGENT COPY & PASTE: You can copy tape entries to other
applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Notepad. You can also
paste input from these applications. If extraneous text and special formatting
are mixed in with your numbers, Judy's TenKey uses heuristic reasoning to
extract and interpret appropriate information.
EXTRA TOUCHES: Judy's TenKey remembers your favorite screen
position and displays itself there every time. It also uses thousands
separators (e.g., "1,000,000" versus "1000000"), displays negative numbers in
red, and allows you to use the backspace key to edit results for further
calculation. Judy's TenKey provides an extensive help system, an introductory
demonstration, and a "Tip of the Day" feature.
BETTER PERFORMANCE: Judy's TenKey enables you to work faster and
more reliably. Once you can see (and reuse!) the numbers in your
calculations, you will never return to the default Windows calculator.
Judy's TenKey also lets you work with larger and smaller numbers more
easily (try entering 10,000,000,000,000 in the Microsoft calculator,
or 10e-12...difficult, if not impossible). We're so sure that you'll
love using Judy's TenKey that we invite you to try it for free. Simply
send in the registration fee if you decide to keep it.
