[swnet.sys.mac] Calculator C.K.

dvlmon@zeus.cs.umu.se (Mattias Ohlsson) (04/17/91)

Hi!

Does anyone out there know where to get a Calculator Construction Kit
for the Macintosh?
It should be able to use all functions on the HP-48 and Casio 6500.

Why not wait until the project (in which you yourself are involved) have
finished their assignment of writing a calculator construction kit (that's
supposed to be able to create calculators like the HP-48 and the Casio 6500),
since the program will be freeware I'm sure you can have a copy. Besides,
that way you'd avoid any disciplinary reprimands you could have to face
otherwise ;-)

Om vi bortser fr}n Christer Ericssons bitska svar om kursuppgifter...

Att g|ra program som emulerar kalkylatorer p} en dator {r som att emulera en
cykel med en bil genom att ta bort motorn och s{tta trampor p} den.

Om du vill ha en "kalkylator" f|r att anv{nda den s} finns det en suver{n
(fast den ser inte ut som en minir{knare): NumberCrunch. Gratis. Smidig.
Numera greppar jag *alltid* efter musen och inte efter minir{knaren n{r jag
skall r{kna ut n}nting...

S} klart, har man pengar att l{gga ut finns ju saker som Mathematica, MatLab
med mera, men det {r en annan niv}.

So what's this say?  I did a rot13 and it still didn't make sense!
