Description:
SnapCalc is a HackMaster plug-in that allows you to pop up a basic calculator from within any PalmOS® application, do some calculations, and, if you choose, copy the result to the underlying application.
SnapCalc also allows you to paste a value and use it in your calculations.
It runs on PalmOS® 2.0 and up. SnapCalc does not require MATHLIB.PRC but it does not do trig functions.
Features:
- Activate snapCalc from within any application
- Small (quarter-screen) and large window sizes:
- Quarter-screen window can be dragged around
- Window sizes can be switched without losing your place in the calculation
- Copy displayed number to the underlying application
- Paste a value from a hi-lighted selection or the clipboard and use it in the calculation
- Basic operations of +, -, x, and /
- Memory plus, memory clear, and memory recall
- Memory indicator and operator indicator
- % and sign keys
- Backspace key
- Operational precedence (configurable)
- Number is displayed with thousand separators

- Fixed compatibility problems with Treo hard keys
- Cosmetic bug fixes with number display
Ver 1.6 (Dec, 2003):

Not much I can say that hasn't been said already... very good idea, and very well executed. Thanks so much.

VERY NICE app. One of the few hacks that works on a Treo with no grafitti area. Can you make a SnapMemo hack also? I tried to email, but I'm not on your recipient list. Thanks, Spammers! I get about 50-70 spams daily, so if you write, make sure the subject doesn't look like spam!

I couldn't believe my Tungsten E didn't come with a calculator...at all! I'm so glad I found this incredible app! It's the best simple calculator I found, free or otherwise. And the fact that I can pull it up anytime, anywhere makes it much better than the one Palm could have supplied me with anyway.

I used it on my earlier Palm m515 and Tungsten T and it was very useful, but on my new Tungsten T3 it does not work. I follow the installation information ok.

Have been using snapCalc since the beginning. Never leave home without it. Many thanks for making this a freeware.

Good calc, very handy, but can you do something for us with m515's color display to spruce it up alittle?

This is the hack I use the most. I love the the clipboard function. I can copy and paste the numbers straight into memos, etc. Works smoothly in my Visor Neo.

Works great on my Handspring Visor Platinum with EVPlugBase. Also works on a Japanese Visor with X-Master. Much more convenient than the built-in calculator.

Excellent! I've had this hack with me since last year and now with this release it reconfirms this hack as a MUST-HAVE on ANY palm! Highly recommended - Used this on my IIIc, Vx, M505 and now on my M515 - never had any problems.

Otimo Hack ! Great ! Sugoi !
***** [Jun 16, 2002] by CARL
This is another great freeware prog; thanks Ling; now dispensed with the time delayed, un registered "pop up calc". use it all the time for my invoicing prog. One question; how do I work out and add the % value of a calculation for v.a.t. etc ?. Used on my Visor Neo.

Excellent hack. I forsee many uses for it. I haven't had a crash yet with my Visor Edge.
**** [Jan 12, 2002] by Pedro Mindlin
Great hack, but when I tap outside it, even with "pass tapping" option disabled, it crashes my m105.
***** [Oct 26, 2001] by fsa
Very useful. A must-have for every palm!
*** [Oct 21, 2001] by "Mao Tse Tung"
SnapCalc does its job well. However, the hack does not have any documentation within itself that tells the user how to use it. Although that information is available in a separate text file, its absence from the hack is a major oversight.

It's really lovely application except it crashes my IIIxe every time I try to use it. Please, debug it.
**** [Sep 4, 2001] by ste
Very effective and useful application. It's right!! Use it!!
***** [Sep 4, 2001] by Andrew Empson
Very handy and simple little hack. Palm should have built something like this into their OS in the first place. Well done.
