GeoCal - a free tool

Introduction

A few months ago I downloaded a Codeproject Dialog RPN Calculator program. I tuned it up a little and wanted to pass it on. Using only VC 4 , and a Installer program, GeoCalInstaller.zip is a complete program and GeoCalCode.zip is just the dialog source code. Button programs are always fun.

Feel free to download and use the program and send me any suggestions or comments that you might have. Also feel free to play with the source code (that has been made available in the downloads section above) and again please send me your criticisms and suggestions.

I am a simple hobby programmer working with VC4 learning edition. Being a old guy I just marvel at the power of the software programming and what it can do.

It is hardly a great article. As the author himself admits it is just a "button program". What would have been nice is something that was a bit more substantial. For instance: An explanation of the algorithms used to get the program to work; Where more information can be found (e.g. USGS Professional Paper 1395, or http://mac.usgs.gov/mac/isb/pubs/MapProjections/projections.html[^] assuming these are relevant - I'm just guessing).

This is, unfortuately just a tarting up of the UI on a previous article that isn't even properly referenced. A link to it at least would have been nice (I'm guessing that this is it http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/RPNcalculator.asp?target=RPN%7CCalculator[^] but I may be wrong).

This article potentially builds something new (and, at least to me, exciting) on the previous article (assuming I found the correct one). It would have been nice to have a better explanation of the coordinate system calculations used.
