Loki operates as a standard RPN calculator. However, it's extended capabilities take a little explaining. These capabilities fall into the areas of input, operators, and display.
If the Units box is not checked, the calculator works like a normal one. If the box is checked, the calcualator tracks units in the calculations. Checkboxes control the display of an input unit selector window and the output unit display window.
Loki's unit operations are designed to make life easy in situations which you come across in the real world. For example, you can square a distance unit to get an area. However, if you enter nonsense, you'll get nonsense back: adding a mass to an angle gives a result, but probably not a useful one.
What's New:
Added disclosure triangle control.
Reorganized main window for greater clairty; added the ability to separately enable/disable unit entry and show all windows.
Now accepts the Enter key for Enter and the "#" key for erase.
Changed keyboard shortcut for recprocal to "".
Now allows entry into any register.
Now uses new preference saving code. It will save preferences to the application directory if it can't use the regular place.
Now uses sheets on OS X.
Improved and standardized Copy and Print; added File Save.
Closing the main window now exits the application.
