************************************************************** Virtual Calc 97 Features ************************************************************** THE MOST POWERFUL CALCULATOR IN THE WORLD!!! For Win 95. The Win 95 calculator replacement. FREE DOWNLOAD! at http://www.edepot.com/phl.html Read this FAQ to the end. It will shock you!!! ************************************************************** Q: What is so special about Virtual Calc? A: It supports infinite digits. Q: How many digits is infinite? A: 2147483645 digits. To give you an example of how BIG 10^2147483647 is... Number of books in Library of Congress: 10^8 Number of people in the world: 10^9 Number of particles (smaller than atoms) in universe: 10^79 Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, it also supports unconstrained bases. YES! UNCONSTRAINED. That means you are no longer limited by the common bases (binary,octal,decimal,and hexadecimal). Virtual Calc supports ANY!!! base from 2 on up. (whole number increments of course) Try base 3, 4, 5, 20, 30, 40, 50, or ANY base you desire! No limits!! Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, it also supports "decimal" point, "binary" point, "hexadecimal" point, "octal" point, and ANY!! floating point from base 2 and up. Did you know that all the calculators in the world support ONLY the decimal point? Virtual Calc FREES you from this constraint! Calculate floating point numbers in ANY base you choose! 2, 3, 4, 64, etc. NO constraints! Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, it also supports infix expressions. Do you hate it when you are calculating a lot of numbers, and have to start over if you make a mistake? With Virtual Calc, you can type the whole expression (77.632+(55/0.41)*333-2222.3+888 -12345.67*(987+345)) BEFORE you calculate. You can then go back and modify a few numbers, punch calculate to see the results instantly! No retyping! Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, it also supports customizable symbols for ALL digits of ANY base, and ALL arithmitic operators!! Example, you can customize digits 1234567890 to abcdefghij, and +-*/ to !@#$, or ANY symbols you desire. When you input abc!def, Virtual Calc will output egi. (123+456=579) Virtual Calc frees you from symbolic constraints! Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, Virtual Calc is FAST! So fast, it will shock you. Try Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, Dividing 100000+ digit numbers. No kidding. And it will get faster. Virtual Calc 97 is NOT optimized. Future registered versions will get even faster (We are talking many times faster, not a few percents). Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, Virtual Calc is a GUI calculator! It runs on Windows 95. Fully 32-bit. This is a Win95 calc.exe replacement. Upgrade from the limited calculator in Win95! Q: Is that all that is special about Virtual Calc? A: NO!, it also supports file loading and saving, clipboard copying, and memory storages. That means you can edit the numbers from any editor, and Virtual Calc can import it from the clipboard or file, or store it locally in memory. It can also export it to your favorite editor by saving to a file or copying to the clipboard. This is useful because Virtual Calc can handle HUGE numbers!! Q: I'm excited! I want to download it!!! A: HERE IS THE HOME WEBSITE: http://www.edepot.com/phl.html The latest version can be downloaded from there. Do it now!! Q: Why is this calculator so great? A: The calculator uses state of the art algorithms created from scratch. (It had to be, no other calculator supports unconstrained bases and floating point, and ALSO supports infix expressions and infinite digits!) Q: How can I reach the author? A: phlin@ix.netcom.com
