SmartSum means good-bye for desk space hogging adding machines

Cheshire, England - April 7, 1995 - Oakley Data Services today announced
the release of version 1.5 of SmartSum, the logical replacement of the
Windows Calculator.

SmartSum is a Windows based emulation of the traditional printing
calculator/adding machine found in so many business environments all the
way from the multi-national to the small office/home office. Anyone with a
requirement to add up a sequence of figures, such as Visa slips or daily
earnings will instantly know how valuable a tally-roll with the ability to
check back can be.

"The advanced features of SmartSum simply make adding machines obsolete."
said Colin Messitt President of Oakley Data Services. "With such
capabilities as editing the tally roll, saving and retrieving tally rolls,
macro support and optional talking digits, the need for traditional
machines will disappear."

Now you can go back and correct an entry that you keyed in wrong, insert an
additional item that you missed out, or delete an item you accidentally
entered twice, none of which were possible with the traditional item. And
SmartSum can (optionally) say the digits as you enter them so there is no
need to look up to ensure correct keying.

Calculations can be titled, and saved and reloaded later for review, and
the sequence continued. This ability may render the need for printing the
tally-roll unnecessary, but if the need is there, then it can be printed
using any font supplied by Windows.

Subtotals can be incorporated and removed at will, and there is the ability
to "tick-off" each entry when checking work. As with the traditional
machine there is the ability to select a particular number of decimal
places of accuracy. However, with SmartSum if you change the decimal
accuracy the whole sequence of calculations is repeated and rounded at the
new precision. A "currency" mode is also available which assumes two
decimal places and automatically inserts the decimal point at the correct
place.

"Tax" buttons make the calculation of sales taxes simplicity itself. Given
a Tax-Exclusive price you can calculate the Tax-Inclusive price, or
vice-versa. Simply entering say $20.00 + TAX will give the tax component
as $1.20 and the Tax-Inclusive price as $21.20 (assuming a tax rate of
6%). Similarly, entering $21 20 - TAX will give the tax element as $1.20
and the Tax-Exclusive price as $20.00. Three tax buttons are provided all
with user configurable values.

A macro facility is provided which allows the recording of repetitive
calculations, and a number of useful macros such as unit conversions are
provided

Interface to Excel or any other spreadsheet along with clipboard support to
allow copying of the tally roll to another application. Colors are
configurable and there is a comprehensive Help File And unlike the
calculator applet supplied with Windows, SmartSum can correctly calculate
2.01-2.0 !
