The Zoesoft website was unavailable for a few weeks (including the website for CCalc registrations). I apologize. There was a misunderstanding with my domain name registry. Problem has been fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Added some tweaks for better Wine compatibility. Cleaned up menu items a bit. Financial mode automatically chooses appropriate significant figures. (2010-07-05)
Well, OK, TextMate is a pretty good text editor. I’ve paid for it. I’m sure it has raised the bar for text editing apps, in some areas. But it has a few annoyances which grate against me, time after time. I’ll list my top two annoyances only. 1) Tab and shift-tab Read more…
Did you know you can use CCalc to derive pi? Of course CCalc already includes the variable “pi” which is accurate to 100+ decimal places, but what fun is there in that? We will use the infinite series discovered by 14th century mathematician and astronomer Madhava of Sangamagrama. The first Read more…
I was motivated recently to get one of my favorite softwares, Sublime Text, running on OS X using Wine, which can run many Windows programs on other platforms, such as Linux or OS X. I became aware of Wine Bottler, which makes it super easy get Wine running on OS Read more…
I’ve just posted an update to the OS X version of CCalc. I’ve added a menu to access settings for display base and degree / radians mode. The OS X version is still nowhere near as feature-complete as the Windows version, but it is certainly quite functional. Probably the next Read more…
New feature: Financial display mode option (never uses SCI notation). New feature: Change display base and degree mode in bottom status bar. Fixed launch problem on certain systems, “This application has failed to start…” (2010-01-16)
Periodically I get requests to release CCalc for Mac OS X. Also for Unix, but I don’t have any experience with GUI development in Unix, and I’ve heard that CCalc runs fairly well under Wine anyway. Years ago I began experimenting with OS X development for Console Calculator, as I Read more…
New feature: Display option to never use SCI notation. New feature: Comparison operators supported: <, <=, >, >=, ==, != New feature: Logical AND and OR (C-type) operators supported: &&, || Bug fixed: occasional loss of saved functions and variables. Bug fixed: occasional memory leak. Several other interface tweaks and Read more…
A common request I get for Console Calculator is support for a bitwise NOT operator (the ~ symbol in many programming languages). The reason I have not yet implemented this is that CCalc has a very large intrinsic bit width (200+ bits). A proper NOT operator cannot ignore leading zeros, Read more…
