General ======= Mathy resurrected is advanced calculator plugin for Launchy (http://www.launchy.net/). It is authored by Tomislav Adamić (a.k.a. El Gruñón) and hosted on Sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mathyresurected/ History ======= During the Launchy v1.x.x. era Mathy plugin apeared. It featured everything that users needed and didn't get from Launchy's standard calculator. Now, Launchy being program launcher, nobody probably assumed that this calculator feature would be so wanted or popular. Well, anyone who tries using Launchy with calculator for it's every day job in let's say finance, accounting or programming will witness how usefull this is. And will become addicted to Launchy + Calculator option. The problem with Launchy plugins is that they need to be rebuilt ever time new Launchy version comes out. This is not really a big problem, as long as plugin users and plugin developers are avare of it existing. And this is where Mathy story ended. Mathy project stopped being developed and when Launchy 2.0 came out, there was no this great calculator that everybody (including me) liked so much... After Launchy 2.0 there was choice to either use Launchy 1.x with Mathy, or use Launchy 2.0 without your favorite and so much needed plugin. Mathy Resurrected was started to change that fact. The ultimate goal is to produce stable, well featured calculator plugin for Launchy that will replicate almost all features of prevoius plugin Mathy, and also add it's own. Features ======== - Complex number arithmetic – All claculations are done on complex numbers. Where this is inapropriate, it is documented. - Many built-in math functions - Some predefined math constants - Configurable decimal separator and function argument separator - Syntax for automatic SI units and binary units conversion - Input and output of binary, hexadecimal nad octal numbers - High precision of calculation (supporting calculation and decimal representation of numbers from [1e-70, 1e70] Building and installation ========================= Pre-built plugin .dll is available for MS Windows systems, and source code for others. On windows, installing it means simply copying .dll file into plugins directory of Launchy install dir. On other systems plugin must be built from source and installed to appropriate place for that system. For detailed instructions see INSTALL in Mathy Resurrected source tree. Support ======= All questions regarding plugin should be asked at SourceForge project site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mathyresurrected/ Or at Launchy project site, "Plugins 2.0+" subforum: http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchy/ Bugs can be reported, or features requested on plugin official project support page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mathyresurected/support
