Virus Scan for Moffsoft Calculator

John H This is the perfect practical business calculator.
I have been using this for years. The main selling point is that it emulates an adding machine with a printed tape. I used to add up long lists of numbers on a spread sheet so I could double check things.

To turn on the tape, go to VIEWTAPE

My only wish for this program is that there was a different key other than ESCAPE for the CLEAR function so that I could do everything with my right hand, leaving my left hand free to handle the receipts that needed to be added up. Maybe use Control+Delete or Home and End Keys for C and CT. While I rarely use the Memory Functions, how about clustering the keyboard commands on the right side of the keyboard too.

Just wishing.

Thanks for many days of frustration free addition!

Frank Stephens This seems like a reasonable business calculator at a fair price for what it does. The Win 7 calculator shows history horizontally, and you can bring up the history of past calculations. Microsoft Mathematics is free, and available as an add-in, with numerous features which are more mathematically-oriented. More serious computations are available on WolframAlpha and WolframAlpha Pro. Of course, Google and Bing will do calculations, Bing uses WolframAlpha.

Mitchell Kastner Where had you been, Frank? I had to decide yesterday whether to purchase the license for Oops Backup all by myself, without your assuaging or exacerbating my perterbations. As a lot, we attorneys are intrepid and so I pressed the Buy button, and there you have it. Still common courtesy should have compelled you to have ejaculated a few words of review on the item as you had had plenty to say to the devekoper the last time the software was offered here. I trialed the software, checked on its system usage, saw that its apetitite for system resources was abstemious in comparison to Genie Timeline 2----Timeline 2012 has superceded 2----and therefore querously paid the virtual cashier the bounty it demanded. All the same, I could have used your hand holding and head patting while deliberating on whether to buy or pass.

Think about whom you are leaving in the lurch the next time you decide to take an extended hiatus from BDJ. Very unmatey, I must say. :)

Having said all that I must applauded your penetrating insights into the calculator being offered today. I do not carp however by pointing out that your review deviates from its predecessors by failing to enunciate whether, in comparison to its competitors, the software should be purchased or passed. Yes I understand you did identify other free calculators that perform some of the same calculations as Moffsoft, but curiously you omitted any mention of the efficiency of Moffsoft to these others. Perhaps, Moffsoft commends itself to purchase because of the ease and efficiency with which it can calculate all manner of equations---for they would be for me the pre-eminent attributes a calculator should have.

John H Moffsoft Calculator with its paper tape interface is about double checking real world numbers. Anybody that does real world accounting understands this. Every other calculator is just an awkward academic toy.

The next step up in accounting tools is the spread sheet which allows larger and more complex computation. Moffsoft allows me to do day to day accounting without firing up the spreadsheet.

For my Mechanical Engineering work I use MathCAD or one of the Freeware substitutes. MathCAD allows me to DOCUMENT and combine other information with the calculation.

This is 2012. Cheap small computers and graphical interfaces. Any calculator that still uses command line input rather than Symbolic input for complex Algebra and Calculus is a very bad joke and an academic toy.

Answers are cheap these days. Important answers need to be double checked and documented.

Except in academia, the answer is only half the problem. Too many people are shouting answers without even understanding the questions or even asking the right questions.

Most calculation software is written for academics which is why there are so many command line calculators. Wolfram which is great for demonstrating concepts, does not impress me with the ability to document my calculations the way MathCAD does. If you are going to trust Google to calculate your next big project, then your project is either for school or has no real important significance in the world.

Thanks to anyone who has read through all this bloated rant of mine. I truly ave tried them all.

J S Sadly it appears that there is little or no on-going development of this wonderful program.

It is a great Calculator (Yes I already own a License), BUT, when it comes to the TOOLS FUNCTiONS it has obviously been written with a US of perspective and it lacks a number of units found outside the US of A.

Even the spelling of certain non-US of A units are spelt the USA way for example a metric ton is Tonne and 1,000 millilitres is a Litre not liter

Some conversion units that come immediately to mind:

UNiT Functions:
For example: Imperial Gallons but no Quarts or Pints or Cups or Fluid ounces

Area: has no Perches for Australia

Financial Functions:
Certainly when it comes to Financial functions the way at least half of all Mortages are calculated in Austraia (Fortnightly P&I) doesn't seem to appear.

it would be great if The User could add the extra Functions Buttons but I suppose this would require an entire re-write.

PG Unfortunately, this is NOT the only calculator I will ever need.

This is the best business calculator for the PC, hands down.
For what it does, your calculator is perfect. It keeps a nice papertape record, and it is easy to use.

But you insult me because I have to buy a second calculator to do my math and scientific calculations.

Please create a math and scientific calculator face for your product, and then I'll have the only calculator I will ever need.

Jan-Christoph Ihrens Nice tool, but especially when using it in a multi-monitor environment, there are some glitches:

- Whenever I resize the calculator (including resetting the size) or choose a new color scheme etc., the application window is moved to my primary monitor. I'd like it to stay where it is - my third monitor.

- The Options window always opens somewhere between my primary (3/4 of the window) and my secondary monitor (1/4 of the window).

- I played around with the color schemes and created my own. This works fine - if I don't use the Unit Conversions tool. There the buttons of the units are labelled in a color that I didn't choose and that is too light for the button color I chose.

- Sometimes parts of the toolbar aren't displayed.

Is there any chance that these issues will be addressed?

Jan-Christoph Ihrens The problem with the wrong button color also exists in the Constants window (can be enabled in the settings). It only affects disabled buttons, as it seems, but they should be readable at least. Maybe the "disabled" state should be offered as an additional item when editing color schemes.

Jeff Moffett Peter, Moffsoft Calculator 2 uses the Windows Region settings to determine what character to use for both the decimal symbol and the digit grouping symbol. To change the decimal from a period to a comma, open the Windows Control Panel and click on "Change date, time or number formats" or "Region and Language". Within that dialog box, click on "Additional settings". The "Numbers" tab allows you to specify the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol. I hope that helps!

peter schleifer Jeff,

I

Thank you very much for this clarification. So the "problem" with Moffsoft Calculator is not that it has mandatory decimal point, but that it does not allow for an individual setting of the decimal indicator but relies, as you say, on the "Region" settings; I acknowledge that in 99 p.c. of cases this is obviously NOT a problem then.

I remember having trialled Moffsoft some time ago, and I had, for some specific other reason, set my "region" to some other than my real one, so my trialling Moffsoft obviously fell into that period, without my becoming aware of this coincidence. (As said, all other tape calculators allow for your setting the dot/comma individually.)

II

I had another issue with Moffsoft then, and the above screenshot seems to indicate this has not changed in-between?:

Whilst the other tape calculators

(CalcTape (cheap but a little bit on the primitive side, and no real development), DeskCalc (overpriced, and you need an extra license for every one of your pc's, and they offer variants incl. some extra calculators but which are not integrated into the main one), Number Mate (obviously and by far the most powerful one, but quite ugly, i.e. made out of some quite terrible programming environment), Judy's TenKey (supposedly the most successful one, because, by far, visually the most appealing, and with reasonable wealth of functionality - I finally settled with that one, after having bought DeskCalc before); well, I left out here Karen's Calculator, which is free and like Moffsoft, but with just some numbers in the tape, which doesn't make sense in a tape calculator)

all allowed for some degree of "minimizing", i.e. of shaping their pane as just one "tape", with more or fewer groups of command buttons and such, above and below, it was Moffsoft only which could not be reshaped into such a narrow "tape" form, by this taking lots more "real space" on my screen, i.e. if you didn't want to have it on top of some other window (which means it hides elements in that window it overlays) you had to cope with its considerable broadness, whilst its competitors could be shaped into some thin strip of paper, from top to bottom of your screen.

I suppose this problem has not been worked on, but I think you will see the usefulness of such additional programming work of just one day. ;-)

(Of course, when I speak of tape shape, I mean displaying the tape, too, so screenshot examples 2, 3 and 5 do not contradict what I say.)

peter schleifer ad II

I missed a detail in II: Whilst the tape was / can be hidden, the virtual tenkey cannot (or at least could not) be hidden (at the time I trialled Moffsoft) - I just browsed my notes from then. Thus, not only the virtual keyboard could not be put beneath the tape, but it invariantly came with the tape whenever you wanted to see the tape, and it goes without saying that except for slate users (and slates were very rare at the time), no one needs a virtual keyboard, typing real keys is so much faster (even on a notebook with no dedicated tenkey key group).

But this would easily be included in this one-day programming work, for optionally making available "everything else" beneath the tape, instead of on its side, and to hide the virtual number keys by option (which would mean you put MC, MR, MS, m- and M+ into a row, instead of a column).

III

In that time, there also was some "Moffsoft FreeCalc", visually similar to Moffsoft Calculator (which was and is 20 bucks, and here is 12) - where might have laid the difference between the two?

IV

If you want to do real programming work, too, you should give us some really good re-use of intermediate, group results, since none of your competitors (well, I cannot speak for current Judy's since I only use the latest version that works with my Win XP) does this in a really acceptable way: Everywhere, reuse of intermediate results comes with a lot of fuss! ;-)

Lito I bought this a while back and it's a great calculator. While I would like it to do other calculations like Hex, octal, scientific,etc to be more complete, for me, it's not really necessary as I keep the included windows one in programmer mode for those times I need to do hex calculations. But I do miss the tape feature occasionally when using it.

@bob "outdated" I think he means no new features added.

I agree with others though that some new features would be really useful. I'd love a feature to be able to edit the numbers in the tape and it would update all the results following the edit. The Tenkey mentioned in another post looks really good to me because of that feature. But I think overall this one is better because you get more operations with Moffsoft than the Tenkey. For example you can do unit conversion is Moffsoft while Tenkey doesn't support it, you have to buy their conversions product for that.

John H I have been using Moffsoft calculator for years and years. Even after I purchased the license, I continue to just load up the free version on new computers because License managing is a time drain even with the efficient system I set up.

I just want a basic simple calculator with a tape. I used to use a spreadsheet prior to Moffsoft but Office programs took to long to start up.

Let me restate; basic and simple! People say they want tons of features and then complain that the software turns into a bloated pig.

Anything more complex for engineering, I use a spreadsheet or Smath, a MathCAD clone. But Moffsoft even handles most of my preliminary engineering calculations.

My only request:
This should be a totally right handed calculator for adding up receipts and such but the clear key is on the opposite side of the keyboard from the key pad. I think if you would give us the choice to use perhaps the end key or home key instead, this would allow me to keep my left hand on the pile of receipts and right hand on the numeric keypad.

I think minimizing the size of the keypad while lengthening the tape to conserve screen space would be nice. Maybe just float the tape and keep it on top of the other windows. Make the keypad just large enough to click on the odd functions without the number keys taking up screen space. Who seriously inputs numbers with a mouse when doing serious number crunching. Serious number crunching is more about ergonomics than features and functions that will never be used.

MojoMan OK... I downloaded the trial but see no way to customize it as I wish.

First and foremost... I do not need or want a keyboard display. I use (Deskcalc) at present (part of the time) as I use adding machine mode mostly and don't need to see keys on a keyboard,. They are a waste of space for me and sadly I can't see anyway to either remove them or have them below the tape so I end up with a double-wide display of wasted space even when I disable the display of keys in the options menu. (Which makes no sense to me).

I do appreciate the tape copy and paste function but would find it much more useful if you could make notations on tapes before copy /paste so that they can be posted in workpapers. Also, it would be a great help if a total could be pasted into an excel spreadsheet.... or even an entire tape under certain circumstances.

I tried this prog a couple years ago (several) and sadly don't see much if any change as someone else noted. There are a couple other similar calculators out there (can' figure out why MS doesn't just do it right to start with) bue each one has shortcomings. The one's which use RPN, which are many are the worst. Nobody who uses a business calculator or adding machine uses RPN... so at least the ability to set the logic mode correctly is a plus.

Just some food for thought and some reasons why this doesn't fit in the pro category for those of us who use a "rea" calulcuator on daily basis for years.... and maybe that is not your intended audience but that is OK.... and it is why I still have an honest to God business calculator still taking up room on my desk.

J S Dear Jeff, I (and dare I suggest many others too) still live in hope that Version 3 (or whatever you'd call it) will one day be developed and available to buy.

Rougena Nadgorny-Trattner Dear Sirs,

For years our family has been enjoying the BdJ offers - they are really useful :)

One remark (if I may) concerning the advertising of this specific one: the subtitle "The only calculator you'll ever need" is somewhat "over the hill", at least on two accounts:

1. Given that this software appears to have no support for trigonometric functions as well as computer-oriented computations (binary, octo, hex, ...), it surely cannot be the ONLY calculator I (or many others) will EVER need,

2. Personally, I failed to find this subtitle at Moffsoft's Web site, so it seems they don't make such claims ...

You may wish to remove the subtitle: the software has enough qualities & features as is (not that it could not be improved - see point 1. above) to not need additional -- possibly unfounded -- advertising support.

Keep on the good work and the great deals coming,

Keep safe,

R.
