Version 1 of A little calculator

Updated 2001-12-15 13:16:58

Richard Suchenwirth - As yet another midnight project, here's a small calculator in Tcl/Tk. Known problem: arithmetics is done with expr, so e.g. 1/2= comes out as 0. When dividing, you should mark at least one operand as double by appending a period. Then again, in addition to the buttons you can use any of expr's other functionalities via keyboard input.
