Hi there, I promised some people i'd post this, and i think it's a good idea anyway. I've recently written a scientific calculator (which now appears in the archives) that evaluates functions and expressions and stuff like that. You can enter in directly, pass between two open calculators, or send/retrieve functions and values from your own app using it as a server to your application. In Place Evaluation allows you to evaluate expressions right in your own text document (it's a text editor also), so you can write a report or something where you have a lot of math to do in it and dont have to use a separate calculator. It integrates with Wordpad so you can drag between Wordpad and it's built in text editor, functions or just plain text, or any other ole enabled program, maintaining the color of the text objects. For a really simple example... say you want to enter the function y(x)=x^2+x-1 You just type it in the text window, highlight it, then click (or use the quick menu Alt-v-v) and the function is entered. If you type something to be evaluated right away, you might type: 2+3 then you highlight it, click "In Place Eval", and it turns into: 2+3=5 Extra long calculations dont hold up the normal window processing either. Oh yeah, you can save all your data and load again later. Included are some EE formulas and a very short table of indefinite integrals, two help files, the Euphoria include file (for using it as a server) along with a demo Euphoria program that sends and retrieves functions and data to and from the calculator from a separate process. Of course it does algebra, trig, and calculus. I'd hope some Euphoria programmers could try it also. Any ideas or whatever will be appreciated. Take care, Al And, good luck with your Euphoria programming! My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's"
