Adding Machine w/tape

#1 Post by linuxx »

In your many travels, have you ever happened on an app that mimics a desktop adding machine and with a "tape" on screen ?? Many thanks!

I don't know if this will meet your portability requirements, but this is small, free and for multiple versions of Windows (including 95), so it probably doesn't use the registry.

Edit: Oops!
It took me a while to re-find it. The main site is in Hebrew, so it isn't easy to find a translation, but the download page is in English (a little more familiar!):

alan, is there a missing link?

@ linuxx I use TabbyCalc, older version 1.2 because I prefer the scroll list of functions better than the drop-down list in the newer versions.
I like TabbyCalc because you can also type notes in the "tape" window.

Calcute is also in the database here, but I've never tried it.

One that I used to use a few years ago was from MoffSoft, the "tape" display does look just like a printed calculator tape :)
I don't know how much newer versions have changed.

Just for grins, I just now upx'd and JauntePE'd my copy of MoffSoftCalc Free v 1.1 , and it's working just fine. (in its native state, it does write to registry.)

I'm bumping this thread because I posted an edit to my earlier entry and the forum software is not updating the date and time last used for the thread. Live and learn!

Nice find, thanks.

Writes to the registry @

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Orefa.com\AddUp\2.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Orefa.com\AddUp

BTW, AddUp 2 is not free.

@ garbanzo and Baas

I jest luvs JauntePE :lol:
I imagine if you know how to do it, a NSIS launcher would work too !
