NC 1.3.0 on c't CD ROM

Johann N. Löfflmann — Sun, 30 Jun 2002 10:42:50 -0000

The German computer magazine c't has published major freeware and shareware in its issue 13/2002 (published date: 15-June-2002).

c't has distributed these 258 software packages on a CD ROM which is included with the magazine. If you don't know the c't: with approximately 390,000 copies sold every two weeks, c't is one of the most popular computer magazines in Europe.

I'm very glad to announce, that NumericalChameleon 1.3.0 is on that CD ROM :-)

What did they write about the NC?
(c't 13/2002, page 148)

"Das NumericalChameleon zeigt sich uerst wandlungsfhig, indem es 1201 verschiedene Einheiten aus 73 Kategorien mit einer Genauigkeit von bis zu 1000 Nachkommastellen konvertiert. Die Freeware rechnet dabei nicht nur die obligatorischen physikalischen und chemischen einheietn sowie Wechselkurse um, sondern wandelt auch zwischen verschiedenen Zahlensystemen, einschlielich den rmischen. Natrliche Zahlen bersetzt NumericalChameleon in 15 Sprachen in das entsprechende Zahlwort. Wem das noch nicht reicht, der kann auch noch eigene Kategorien und Einheiten hinzufgen. Das Programm bentigt die Version 1.4 von Java 2."
