The Percent Key

The% key has two functions:
Finding a Percentage. In most cases, % divides a number by 100.
The one exception is when a plus or minus sign precedes the number.
(See “Adding or Subtracting a Percentage,” below.)

Version 5.2.7 (March 13, 2010)

Update: Warning it write access problems with deskcalc4.ini -> settings file
Update: Uninstall removes all DeskCalc registry entries
Bugfix:  Decimal points display in the lower status bar hasn't been updated by keyboard shortcuts

New: Constants calculationConstants calculations tape  calculator

How does it work? Have a look at the above screenshot and imagine you like to multiply some numbers
with the same multiplier, lets say 2. You start with 2*2=
Now DeskCalc remembers this multiplyer and uses it next time you need it. Any time you enter a number
and press ENTER will result in a multiplication with 2. Have a look at the second calculation to
see how it works.

The same works for divisions and percentage calculations. The last operation overrides the last constant and becomes the new constant. Here are some more examples:

 Input        Output
 2 * 2 =       4
 8=            16
 3=              6
-----------------------
 8 / 2 =       4
 16=           8

Restore tapes  It all happens to us sometimes, that we unintentionaly delete a tape or forget to save it before we clean a checkstrip. You may undo that if you recognize it immediately after it happened. But what's with the calculations you created yesterday? DeskCalc stores all tapes for the last 7 days. Restore them with the "Restore Tape from File" function.

  • Cut, copy, paste individual tape lines, sections of a tape, or an entire tape.

Today I like to share some thoughts of other DeskCalc users with you. First of all, because it makes us feel good :) It seems like we are doing the right thing. We always wanted DeskCalc to be as smart and easy to use, as an conventional adding machine for users who, for many different reasons, wanted an adding machine for their PC. Actually that's us as well, that is the reason why this calculator was created. Thanks for your comments, wishes and complaints as they are always welcome.

Postit Our costumers had the requirement to store and archive calculations with a time stamp. In earlier days they copied their checkstrips and appended them to their documents. In a paperless office, or an office with a document management system, this is not a very convenient way.

While there are many options to export data from DeskCalc, the "PostIt" feature is the most easiest of all. It does copy the checkstrip as a "metagraphic" to the clipboard. A meta-graphic has the benefit, that it can be resized without the loss of details, it's a so called vector graphic format. Costumers to append such "PostIt's" to their PDF-files, WORD-files, document management files etc.

These "PostIt's" include date&time as well as the document name and you are able to give them any background color you like.
