NAME
       EasyCalc - Scientific calculator for Palm's

REQUIREMENTS
       Palm  or  PalmPilot  with at least PalmOS 2.0 and about 70-110K of free
       memory, plus 50K for MathLib.

INSTALLATION
       Install files MathLib.prc and one  of  the  other  'calc *.prc'  files.
                                                               -
       These  other files are all versions of one program, but usually without
       some features, because space on Palm is a valuable  resource  and  some
       people  may  want to sacrifice features for space. Currently there are:
       calc all.prc, calc small.prc (no  graphs,  no  special  functions)  and
           -             -
       calc graph.prc (graphs, but no special functions).
           -

       If  you  already  have some older version of EasyCalc installed, please
       remove it before installing this version -  you  may  experience  weird
       behaviour  if you don't because some of the data format changed. Start-
       ing from version 1.02, I no longer use LibEasy, because I got new  prc-
       tools  and  I  can  create larger binaries. Please, remove LibEasy from
       your Pilot (if you can't find it in the list of applications, try  Cal-
       cDB-OpCl, it sometimes gets renamed), you would be wasting space if you
       didn't.  I'm neither author nor maintainer of MathLib, so if  you  have
       questions  about  this  library,  look at http://www.radiks.net/~rhueb-
       ner/mathlib.html.

BUGS
       Due to floating point implementation in  computers  you  will  probably
       experience  some  differences  when  adding/subtracting a larger number
       from a smaller one (e.g. 1-1E-15). It is all the same on  all  calcula-
       tors I have ever seen, you will have to get used to it..

       Many  thanks  to Rafael R. Sevilla <dido@pacific.net.ph> who added many
       mathematical functions I do not know.

       Some small portion of code is from <Antonio.FIOL@enst-bretagne.fr>  who
       helped me to add PYR support.

       And  of  course there are other people who sent suggestions and correc-
       tions to the tutorial.
