<br>exam or serious engineering computation - in fact, initially, I<br>considered putting it in the examples/ directory. But well, at least<br>it's simple (there is only one source file in fact) and may eventually<br>
do the 4 operations usefully.<br><br>I am also interested in seeing how the designers would want such a<br>simple app. to operate (that's more an UI work then) or in details like<br>internationalizations (or the autotools framework).

<br></blockquote></div>Hey, I think it's cool... there are so many times all I want is a simple calculator to check my mileage at the pump, prices at the grocery store, etc. the more buttons you put in the smaller they have to be. as far as I'm concerned this should stay simple and quick to use. If people want a more complicated/powerful calculator, that's what app manager's for.
