Welcome to RootM 1.2.3!
Welcome
Thank you for evaluating RootM. RootM is an RPN scientific calculator for the Palm OS that natively support computations containing imaginary numbers. This means that sqrt(-1) or asin(2) are valid computations, producing complex results. Complex numbers can be entered in real/imag format or mag/phase format in a straightforward way. Quickly switch between real/imag and phasor (mag/phase) displays. RootM has a 16 high stack and 20 memory registers -- all of which can store complex results. In addition, RootM supports graffiti input, copy and paste, and international number formats.
Personalize your copy of RootM. Choose from six different keyboard color schemes (two for B&W devices and 6 for grayscale devices)

Registration
RootM features a free 15 day trial. All the features of RootM are available during the trial. The only difference between the trial and a registered version is that the registration screen no longer displays on startup. After the 15 day trial, the five key (5) becomes disabled. If you decide that you like RootM, purchase a registration code to unlock it.
A registration code can be obtained by purchasing RootM from Creative Creek, LLC. You must provide the user name shown in the registration screen to obtain a valid code. The code will be emailed to you a few days after registration.
To register your software, select the Display->Registration menu item to bring up the registration screen.
Use graffiti (or the popup keyboard) to enter the registration code you received in the mail into the field following "Reg. code:" and tap OK. If the code you typed in is accepted, a confirmation dialog will appear and the RootM keyboard will be displayed. If you make a mistake in entering in the code, a dialog will indicate that the code wasn't valid and you will be given a chance to edit the code.
