Portable Calcute

This is the portable edition of Calcute - a tiny calculator that comes bundles with numerous scientific functions, aiming at math students and other users.

As installation is not a prerequisite, you can simply drop the executable file anywhere on the hard drive and click it to run. Alternatively, you can move Calcute to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any workstation without prior installers.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows Registry is not updated with new entries, and leftover files are not kept on the hard drive after removing the tool.

The interface is based on a small frame that can be moved to any position on the screen, enabled to stay on top of other applications (ideal when you're working in multiple utilities at once), as well as maximized to full screen mode.

The bottom part of the panel shows trigonometric functions, such as sine and cosine. You can use the backspace key or click a button to trigger this function, clear the calculator, and undo your last action.

It is possible to make Calcute write the answer to the Clipboard, read information from file (TXT format), change the number format (decimal, hexadecimal, binary, octal), group digits together, as well as to modify the font style and button size, among others.

Calcute is very light on the system resources, running on a very low quantity of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works smoothly, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Some improvements are welcomed in the visual department of the GUI. But we must also take into consideration that Calcute has not been updated for a pretty long time.
