NAME

       wmcalc - dockable calculator application

SYNOPSIS

       wmcalc [-g geometry] [-d display] [-v] [-f configfile] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the wmcalc command.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program  does  not  have  a  manual
       page.

       wmcalc  is a program designed to act as a simple calculator offering basic operations like
       addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square and squareroot.  It  is  different
       from  other  calculator  programs,  however  in that it is designed to take up very little
       desktop space.  As such, it can be left running on  the  desktop  at  all  times.   It  is
       intended  to placed in the WindowMaker dock, or in Wharf under Afterstep, though it should
       run as well under any window manager.

       *IMPORTANT*: this calculator, due to its  simple  target,  does  not  respect  the  proper
       mathematical operations order, and they are executed in the order they are inserted.

       Buttons are defined as:
        ____________________
       |       x00          |  x = 1 for Left Mouse Button
       | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9|  x = 2 for Middle Mouse Button
       |--------------------|  x = 3 for Right Mouse Button
       |x01 x02 x03 x04 x05 |
       |x06 x07 x08 x09 x10 |  Note: the numbers 0..9 are the
       |x11 x12 x13 x14 x15 |         indicators for memory cells
       |x16 x17 x18 x19 x20 |         0..9 respectively
        --------------------

       Button Functions:

       100    Reinitialize the calculator. (100 = Left Mouse Button on Display)

       200    Clear all the memory registers (0..10)

       300    Clear the current number being entered only

       x11    Start a program defined by CalcStart variable in config file

       1yy    Perform function shown on button

       2yy    Recall  number from memory location [0-9] to display for calculation if yy = 2,3,4,
              7,8,9, 12, 13, 14, 17 otherwise, can run a user-defined function (not implemented)

       3yy    Store Displayed number in memory location [0-9] if yy = 2,3,4, 7,8,9, 12,13,14,  17
              otherwise, can run a user-defined function (not implemented)

       1xx    Hopefully the other functions are obvious from their button graphics.

OPTIONS

       -g <geometry>
              Window Geometry - ie: 64x64+10+10

       -d <display>
              Display -  ie: 127.0.0.1:0.0

       -f <filename>
              Full path to configuration file.

       -v     Verbose Mode.

       -h     Help.

FILES

       /etc/wmcalc.conf
              system  wide  wmcalc  configuration file which will be used for all users who start
              wmcalc the first time.

       ~/.wmcalc
              The configuration file (.wmcalc) is written by wmcalc whenever the user requests to
              store  a number to memory. This file is automatically created the first time a user
              launches wmcalc with /etc/wmcalc.conf as template. As a part  of  this  process,  a
              file  is  written  to  /tmp. If /tmp is not accessible, it tries in the user's home
              directory, as defined by the environment variable HOME. This file is erased as soon
              as it is written over the main configuration file.

CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration  file  is  case  sensitive.  A # starts a comment, and lines consisting
       entirely of whitespace are ignored. The syntax is simply:

       <variable> <content>
              Where <variable> and <content> need to be separated by a Tab \t and not spaces.

       mem0 - mem9 Calculator Memory Locations. These must all exist, though they may be  in  any
       order.

       CalcStart  The  CalcStart  variable  is  intended  to  allow  the  user  to start a larger
       calculator for more complicated needs.  Everything after the tab '\t'  character  is  sent
       unmodified  in  a system() call, so anything you can type at the command prompt may be put
       here.

       ImagChar The ImagChar variable allows the user to choose between 'i' and 'j' to  represent
       the sqrt(-1).
