                       JUDY'S TENKEY(tm)

Judy's TenKey makes your calculations easier and more reliable.  If you use 
the default Windows calculator, you'll find that Judy's TenKey gives you 
many advantages (see below).  If you're still using an old-fashioned desktop 
calculator, you'll love the integration Judy's TenKey gives you with your other 
Windows applications.

This document provides a brief description of program capabilities, 
installation instructions, author contact information, and version history.
This document is also distributed in Windows Write format (read_me.wri); you
may find it easier on the eyes.


<<PROGRAM CAPABILITIES>>

SCROLLING TAPE:  Records your calculations in a scrolling list which you can save,
print, and resize (a real help in keeping track of your calculations).  You can 
also modify tape entries, causing the tape to recalculate, or reuse previous 
entries in new calculations (saving typing and reducing errors).

SELECTABLE SYNTAX:  Judy's TenKey can process numbers like a 
scientific calculator (RPN), an adding machine, or a normal calculator.  If 
you are familiar with one and not another, you know how difficult and 
frustrating it can be to try to switch.  Perfect for accountants, engineers, and 
you.

CUSTOMIZABLE DISPLAY:  You can decide how you want your TenKey 
to look (selecting from tape, memory, statistics, functions, trigonometry, 
finance, and number pad options), enabling you to optimize screen usage.  
Any TenKey function can always be activated via the keyboard regardless of 
the current display configuration.

FINANCIAL CALCULATIONS:  Judy's TenKey calculates monthly 
payments for most loans (e.g., cars, houses, etc.), expected investment 
growth, necessary retirement savings, inflation adjustment, and more.  Its 
easy-to-use dialogs lead you through complex calculations, and records
all responses on the tape (which you can later save, modify, etc.).

STATISTICS:  The scrolling tape provides a natural interface for 
statistical calculations, including average value, sum, or even standard 
deviation.  Simply select the desired lines, then press the
appropriate statistics button.

KEEP ON TOP:  You can set Judy's TenKey to stay on top of all other 
windows, so you quickly calculate something even when editing a document 
full-screen.

DECIMAL SETTING:  You can set Judy's TenKey to display the number of 
decimal positions you prefer, ranging from 0 to "as needed".  In fact, you
can configure Judy's TenKey to automatically insert the decimal point for 
you (a real favorite with professional accountants).  If you frequently 
deal with money, you might want to set the decimals to 2 (for cents) or 
0 (for dollars).

INTELLIGENT COPY & PASTE:  You can copy tape entries to other 
applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Notepad.  You can also 
paste input from these applications.  If extraneous text and special formatting 
are mixed in with your numbers, Judy's TenKey uses heuristic reasoning to 
extract and interpret appropriate information.

EXTRA TOUCHES:  Judy's TenKey remembers your favorite screen 
position and displays itself there every time.  It also uses thousands 
separators (e.g., "1,000,000" versus "1000000"), displays negative numbers in 
red, and allows you to use the backspace key to edit results for further 
calculation.  Judy's TenKey provides an extensive help system, an introductory
demonstration, and a "Tip of the Day" feature.

BETTER PERFORMANCE:  Judy's TenKey enables you to work faster and 
more reliably.  Once you can see (and reuse!) the numbers in your 
calculations, you will never return to the default Windows calculator.  
Plus, Judy's TenKey uses a proprietary algorithm to ensure superior precision 
(try subtracting "750.35 - 750.30" using the Microsoft calculator: it 
doesn't work!).  We're so sure that you'll love using Judy's TenKey that we 
invite you to try it for free.  Simply send in the registration fee if you 
decide to keep it.
