NAME
       EasyCalc - Scientific calculator for Palm's

REQUIREMENTS
       Palm  or PalmPilot with at least PalmOS 2.0 and about 110K-264K of free
       memory, plus 50K for MathLib.

INSTALLATION
       Install MathLib.prc (if needed, see below) and one of the  'calc_*.prc'
       files   using  HotSync  or  your  favorite  installer  program.   These
       'calc_*.prc' files are all versions of one program.

       calc_small.prc is a minimal version (110K, English only) without graphs
       and special functions and in low resolution (160 x 160) only. This ver-
       sion is intended for the older Palm devices with limited memory.

       The other calc_xx.prc files (264K) are various language versions of the
       full  program  with  Sony and Palm hires support and DIA (Dynamic Input
       Area) support for Palm, Sony and Handera devices.  The  following  lan-
       guage versions are available: English, German, Spanish, Czech (2 encod-
       ings), Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian (2 encodings) and Japanese.

       On  the Handspring Visor and the newer Palm handhelds/smart phones (T5,
       LifeDrive, TX, Treo 650, Treo 700p, ...) MathLib is  already  installed
       in the ROM. If you did install it into RAM on one of these devices, you
       can delete it and free up some memory. EasyCalc will  warn  you  if  it
       cannot find MathLib.

       I  am  neither the author nor the maintainer of MathLib, so if you have
       questions about this library, look at
       http://www.radiks.net/~rhuebner/mathlib.html .

BUGS
       Due to floating point implementation in  computers  you  will  probably
       experience  some  differences  when  adding/subtracting  a small number
       to/from a large one (e.g. 1.0 - 1.0E-15). This is inherent to  the  use
       of floating point, you will have to get used to it..
