Glade support/Main maintainer: Robert Ancell Original author/maintainer: Rich Burridge Arithmetic precedence support: Sami Pietila ---- The maths library used by mate-calc is based on the freely available MP multi-precision floating-point arithmetic package originally written in FORTRAN by Richard Brent in the 1970's, when he was with the Computer Centre, Australian National University. It has been converted from FORTRAN into C using the freely available f2c translator, available via netlib on research.att.com. The subsequently converted C code has then been tidied up, mainly to remove any dependencies on the libI77 and libF77 support libraries. More information on this MP package can be found at: ACM Paper: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/richard.brent/pd/rpb042.pdf User Guide: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/richard.brent/pd/rpb035.pdf Source Code: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/richard.brent/ftp/rpb043/rpb043.tar.gz ---- Acknowledgements for the MATE/Gtk+ version: Dennis Cranston and Andrew Sobala for various bug fixes. Calum Benson for HCI advice. Breda McColgan for online help. Evan Martin for help with the menu buttons. Gregory Merchan for the calctool_display_frame custom widget. ---- Acknowledgements from the previous versions (circa 1990): Thanks to Ed Falk at Sun Microsystems (Mountain View) for most of the basic arithmetical algorithms used, to Andrew Nicholson for revising the previous version of the NeWS code, to Sriram Ramachandran for fixing up the XView code, to Hala Abdalla for the original implementation of the popup menu and function keyboard support, to Didier Poirot for the calctool Imakefiles, and to Sisira Jayasinghe for better error detecting addition, subtraction, multiplication and division routines for the maths library. Thanks go also to James Buster, David Weaver, Steve Damron, Mike Bender, Charles Tierney, Trevor Watson, Marla Berg, David Hough, Jeff Donsbach, Mel Melchner, Peter Allott, Skip Gilbrech, Tom Friedel, Keith McNeill Stephen Frede, Johan Vromans, David Karr, Steve Alexander, Gary Bartlett, Steve Nahm, Daniel Yang and Rick Stevenson for bug reports and/or bug fixes plus sugggested enhancements.
