Midget
-
Version
1.30
Midget is a tiny, but very capable numerical
calculator for Windows. It differs from other
calculators in the way you calculate your expressions:
you enter the whole expression at a time,
like "2+3.9/7.1-3 sqr 5", and only then hit Enter to
compute the value. The expression stays displayed so
that uou can correcto or othwerise modify it, and
recompute at will without having to re-enter
everything from scratch.
Calculations are done with 18-digit accuracy, and the
results can be displayed with adjustable precision and
format (including deg/min/sec). Results can be also
converted between various units of measurement.
In addition to basic arithmetic operators and 30
standard functions, Midget has 12 variables, where
calculation results can be stored, and then used as
arguments in other expressions, like in "2A+B/7". The
status of calculations is saved to disk so that next
time you run the program, you start at the point you
left.
The program is continuously improved since 1996, so it
reached a highly polished state. A Help file is
included, and there is a Web support page.
If you are still using the crummy calculator applet
included with Windows, it is time to try Midget. The
chances are you'll end up using it on a permanent
basis.
