- DESCRIPTION:
- Calculait 2.00 is an easy-to-use, customizable 32-bit Windows multifunction
- calculator that's also a World Clock. Although especially made for the
- nonprofessional, it has a slew of powerful functions to satisfy the more
- demanding user. It can calculate, for example, hyperbolic trigonometric
- functions, convert all manner of measures, and even tell the time in any major
- city on the planet.
-
- Features:
- * Scientific Calculator
- * Statistics Calculator
- * Financial Calculator
- * Date-Days Calculator
- * Equivalents Converter
- * Random Number Generator
- * Animated Message Board
- * World Clock
- * History Tape
-
- Calculait lets you copy your results to the Clipboard for use by your other
- applications--as well as paste Clipboard contents to the display. Data entries
- in the History Tape and the Statistics list box can be saved to file.
-
- Calculait can be operated right out of the box by anyone who has used a
- calculator before. Although it was designed to be used intuitively, two almost
- identical Help files are included nevertheless for your reference: one is hard-
- wired into Calculait to allow for instant viewing; the other, a separate
- help.txt, can be read with any word processor.
-
- You can use both keyboard and mouse to operate this product.

-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- Calculait runs on Windows 95/98/NT. Because of its use of some DirectX graphics,
- however, it runs best on Pentium-class machines (better than 166 MHz) with at
- least 16MB RAM. For slower PCs (or if you plan to run it under Windows 95 or
- Windows NT without DirectX ver. 5 or higher), it's recommended that you turn off
- the graphics via Screen > Screen off. NOTE that Calculait WILL run without
- trouble, albeit with no graphics, even without DirectX. This version has not
- been extensively tested under Windows 2000. (Windows, Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and
- DirectX are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.)
-
- A screen resolution setting of 16-bit high color or better is recommended.
-
- A sound card is not needed to run Calculait. If you wish though to hear the
- sound effects, a sound card must be installed. You need to supply your own
- sound files (.wav files only) since the author cannot distribute the original
- .wav files, which are copyrighted. You will need a maximum of 15 .wav files
- (you can use less if you wish)installed in the same directory that
- Calculait 2.00 is in (the default is c:\program files\calculait). It's
- essential that you rename each of your .wav files with the following names:
-
- 1. bigdog
- 2. birds
- 3. camera
- 4. cashreg
- 5. chicken
- 6. cuckoo
- 7. ghost
- 8. gong
- 9. handbell
- 10. laser
- 11. tarzan
- 12. type
- 13. whooh
- 14. whoosh
- 15. wolfhowl
-
- The more names you use, the more calculator keys and functions will have sounds.
-
-
- PROGRAMMING:
- Calculait 2.00 was written in Rapid-Q (beta), a freeware compiler developed by
- William Yu. You can download it at www.basicguru.com/abc/rapidq.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
- Simply unzip the calculait 2.00.zip contents, then click on the self-extracting Setup.exe.
- The automatic setup will install into c:\program files\calculait. However, you can change
- the default destination if you wish. You can also delete all the other files in the
- distribution without compromising the usability of the program. You can create a shortcut
- to Calculait by dragging its icon from Explorer to the Desktop.
