What Was That PocketPC Software?
February 2, 2008 9:04 AM
Help me track down a piece of Windows Mobile calculator software, the name of which my memory has totally failed to retain...
A while ago, while looking at a friends Windows Mobile Pocket PC, I was very taken by a piece of mathematics / calculator software that he had installed. Now I have my new HTC Touch Cruise, I'd love to have this software for myself, but no matter how hard I try, or how arcanely I google, I can't find it!
It was, as I've said, a calculator. One of the things that really set it apart from others was that each equation or calculation you entered was stored back going back further up the screen, in such a way that you could: a) reference the answer from a previous calculation in your current one, and b) "run" through the calculations again from any point back up the stack to the end.
I also remember that there was a very fiddly little click in the right hand corner of each equation where you could turn on graphing for that equation (and a little graph icon with the colour of the plot would appear in that corner once it was on).
You could write scripts using this, and load and run them, enter equations in RPN or standard notation, etc. etc...
Does this ring bells with anyone? It's not MathU (Pro), PDACalc, HiCalc or MxCalc... So, what was it?
