It uses a 125x147 window, which is pretty small and +hard to read on a modern display (particularly a 4K one). It's also +harder to click on the tiny buttons. + +Sometime around 2007, Theodore Kilgore forked hcalc and made some +changes: +- Increase the application's window size by 2x (from 125x147 + to 250x294). This helps some with modern displays. +- Make the window manager's close button work. +- Change the build system from make to cmake. +- Add a copy of the GPL as COPYING, since the original version + doesn't have it (though the site states that it's GPL). +This was released as hcalc-1.2, and can be found here: +https://github.com/jlec/hcalc/ +Also, this is the version packaged by Gentoo. + +In 2024, I (B. Watson, urchlay@slackware.uk) have made many further +changes. See CHANGES for the list. See the man page for full +documentation (something that was lacking in the previous releases). |
