Calculator II v1.5
Copyright 1991-94, Joe Cicinelli.

Purpose:
Calculator II is a pleasant looking color multi-function calculator that runs as
an application under system 6.x or System 7. The calculator was written as an
application to be run under MultiFinder or System 7 alongside other
applications. It improves on AppleUs original calculator by adding
trigonometric functions, functions for base 10 and natural logorithms and their
inverses, hex-to-decimal and decimal-to-hex conversion, a percent
increase/decrease key, a memory function for storing values across uses of the
program, and all of these functions can be invoked by using the F-Keys on the
Apple Extended keyboard (F5 - F15). The calculator also allows users to correct
trailing digits of values entered on the display of the calculator through the
use of a backspace key. A Ticker Tape is also provided to display the results
of past calculations. Balloon help and general information about the program is
available under either the Help menu under System 6.x or the Balloon Help menu
under System 7. This software is being distributed as FREEware so give it a try
and let me know what you think!

This version of the calculator contains the following bug fixes and
enhancements:
- Fixed the mechanism for producing error dialogs.
- Added an option in the preferences dialog for showing the thousands separator
on both the display and ticker tape of the calculator.
- The Ticker Tape now will automatically open when the program launched if it
was left open the last time the calculator was used!
- Fixed an annoying flash in the help window when opened from About dialog box.
- Changed the format of the Preferences file (again!). Throw out your old
Calculator II Prefs file before using this version of the calculator.
- Fixed a bug that permitted the entry of a decimal separator in a Hex value.
- Fixed a bug that permitted the entry of Hex values as input to the Hex
function.
- Added support for non-U.S. formatted decimal and thousands place separators
(finally!). These characters can be changed from the Numbers control panel
under System 7.
- The calculator now does a better job remembering and restoring windows on
multiple montior systems.
