      Description
      ===========

      32-bit Scientific Calculator for OS/2 Warp. This is the
      trimmed/basic edition. For the professional edition surf the
      WarpCalc homepage.

      Documentation is available online. Depending on the context, 
      online help can be called up by pressing F1 on the keyboard, 
      selecting any of the help items on the system menu or simply 
      clicking the help button in the current dialog.


      System requirements
      ===================

      WarpCalc runs on OS/2 3.x (Warp), but Warp 4 or higher is 
      recommended for visual appearance. WarpCalc uses the 
      WarpSans font introduced with Warp 4. For Warp 3 users not 
      having this font it can be installed by replacing the 
      Warp 3 version of the file dspres.dll with the Warp 4
      version downloadable from the WarpCalc home page at
      BMT Micro.

      
      Installation
      ============

      No special installation is required. Simply copy the 
      included files to a directory of your choice.

      If you are using Warp 4, the WPS will create a program
      object for WarpCalc when you drag the executable to your 
      desktop. If you want to start WarpCalc from the desktop
      popup menu follow these steps:

      1. Click mouse button 2 on the desktop.
      2. Select "Properties" from the menu.
      3. Click on the "Menu" tab.
      4. Drag the WarpCalc program object over the 
         "actions on menu" list box and drop it.


      Licensing
      =========

      WarpCalc is shareware. The great thing about shareware is 
      that you only have to buy what you use. The 30 day trial 
      period is absolutely free, but if you decide to use 
      WarpCalc even after this trial period have expired you must 
      register the software. The one-time cost of registration 
      grants you a lifetime license to use this version and all 
      upgrades on one computer at a time. WarpCalc can be 
      registered by contacting the author, BMT Micro or one of 
      their authorized distributors. See the file register.txt 
      for details. 


      New in this release (V1.84)
      ===========================
   
      This version features only small improvements, mostly
      in the form of new built-in functions. Have a look at 
      the online documentation for details.

      Future
      ======

      The future is bright! However the degree of brightness 
      depends greatly on you and me. Please email any bugs, 
      comments and suggestions to the support address above and
      I will see to them.

      Good luck using WarpCalc, and whatever you do don't give
      up on OS/2 - it's more than an operating system... it's 
      life - Yes, you heard right:-)


      CLI version
      ===========

      If you want a matching command line version you can 
      download the file calc.zip from Hobbes and use the included
      CLI calculator for free. (This program has, however, been 
      far from free developing, so feel free to support it by
      registering this package:-)
