FEATURES

With the program SC-102P you get a powerful and freely available scientific
calculator for the Palm platform. Apart from scientific functions it also
offers a full set of logical operations and conversions between different
numeric systems (HEX, DEC, OCT, BIN). Therefore, it is especially useful
for computer engineers and programmers.
The program is designed in a way, that it simulates the visual and
operational aspects of a true calculator, such that the user will be
immediately familiar with its interface.

The calculator program automatically adapts to single and multi
color devices.

Available in three different languages: English, German and Esperanto.

***************************************************************************

REQUIREMENTS

* Palm Operating System version 2.0 or higher.

* MathLib: This is a free shared library that can be used by
any OS 2.0+ Palm program that needs IEEE 754 double precision math
functions. It's distributed under the terms of the
GNU Library General Public License, and is freely available with full
source code and documentation at
<http://www.radiks.net/~rhuebner/mathlib.html>.
It's not a part of the SC-102P program; a copy is simply included in
this archive for your convenience.

INSTALLATION

If you don't know, how to install additional applications on your
Palm device, please refer to the instruction manual which is shipped with
your Palm device. 

Installation procedure:

* First, install the file MathLib.prc on your Palm device, if it isn't
already installed.
NOTE: Due to the fact that the MathLib is required by many Palm
applications, it is probably already installed on your Palm device and you
don't have to install it again. (The MathLib is not visible as an
application. If you are not sure if the MathLib is already on your
Palm device, then simply install it to be safe.) 

* Select one of the available language versions of the SC-102P. You find
the various language versions in the subdirectories english, deutsch and
esperanto. Install the containing file SC-102P.prc on your Palm device as
usual.

* Now you should find an application called SC-102P in the category
"unfiled". If you select the corresponding symbol, the SC-102P will be
displayed. 

NOTE: If you use the Esperanto version, you should activate a Latin-3
character set for this application. All tools necessary are available
for free at <http://purl.oclc.org/NET/pp-lat3>

DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION

This program was developed on an Amiga A4000 computer
using Palm SDK version 3.5, PRC tools version 2.0,
gcc version 2.95.2-kgpd and pilrc-2.5.c.
The program was written in mCWEB a literate programming
system which acts as preprocessor to C and TeX.
mCWEB is freely available on Aminet at
<http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/dev_c.html>.
The program was testet on Palm emulator, PalmPilot Professional,
Palm III, Palm IIIx, Palm V, Palm m105, Palm IIIc and Palm m505.
