1. Making a Calculator
I haven't posted here in a while because I'm such a slacker.
Anyways...
I was wondering if anyone could help set me on the right path
to making a basic arithmatic calculator. If you would rather not
respond in the forum, just email me (caithman at juno.com). Thank you everyone
for your ever-present kindness towards myself.

Sure. The first thing to decide is whether you want a simple "type in the
formula at a prompt" kind of calculator, or whether you want to get
fancy with buttons to click and all that.

Sure what platform are you making the calculator for? Is it numeric command
line input or button style?. There are numerous libraries found at the
Rapid Development web site to assist with a scientific calculator.
A good example of a 'basic' push button calculator for dos can be found in
the 'Graphical Buttons' lib by Jim Lacovara. This library should give you a
good idea of how a calculator sould operate.
