The WarpCalc calculator package contains two scientific calculators, one for the command line (CLI) and one for the OS/2 Presentation Manager (GUI). Both versions share the same core capabilities.

A whole calculation can be entered, reviewed and edited at once. Plenty of standard mathematical functions built-in. Seamlessly expandable with user defined variables and functions. Temporary variables can be created on-the-fly using the assignment operator. User configurable result formatting (e.g. engineering notation) and precision (upto 15 significant digits).

WarpIN und XWorkplace sind beide auf V0.9.14 aktualisiert worden

2001-08-27 17:27:44 -- www.ecomstation.ru, Aliaksandr Dzeshchanka

WarpIN und XWorkplace sind beide auf V0.9.14 aktualisiert worden.

1. WarpIN V0.9.14 ist nun freigegeben.

WarpIN soll der neue OS/2-Standard-Installer werden. WarpIN ist inzwischen unter OS/2-Programmierern recht popul r geworden, weil er flexibel und gleichzeitig leicht zu bedienen ist. WarpIN bietet volle Systemkonfiguration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS-Klassen, WPS-Objekte) und kann alle nderungen am System beim Deinstallieren r ckg ngig machen.

V0.9.14 behebt weitere Probleme. Au erdem unterst tzt WarpIN jetzt selbstentpackende Archive (EXE-Dateien), so da die Probleme beim Herunterladen von WPI-Dateien aus dem Internet nun hoffentlich behoben sind.

2. XWorkplace V0.9.14 ist ebenfalls freigegeben.

XWorkplace ist die umfangreichste OpenSource-WPS-Erweiterung, die derzeit verf gbar ist. XWorkplace ist der Nachfolger meines beliebten XFolder-Pakets und ist inzwischen ein Netlabs-Projekt.

Eine detaillierte Beschreibung gibt es auf der unten genannten Webseite.

V0.9.14 behebt erneut eine gr ere Anzahl von Fehlern. Einige neue Funktionen sind ebenfalls hinzugekommen.

Achtung: Da XWorkplace 0.9.14 nunmehr ein selbstentpackendes Archiv ist, ist WarpIN 0.9.14 zum Installieren ebenfalls erforderlich.

WarpIN und XWorkplace sind beide erh ltlich unter: http://www.xworkplace.org

WarpIN und XWorkplace sind Netlabs-Projekte, die unter der GNU General Public Licence ver ffentlicht werden. Der Quelltext ist auf dem Netlabs-CVS-Server erh ltlich. Siehe www.netlabs.org/nosa und obige Adresse f r Details.

Es gibt vier (englischsprachige) Mailinglisten auf groups.yahoo.com:

• warpin-user
• warpin-dev
• xworkplace-user
• xworkplace-dev

Wir freuen uns ber R ckmeldungen ber diese Listen.

Have fun!
