... Alan, I've been programming since 1972, in many many languages, and developed language implementations myself (eg: UMD APL, MACRO$), and one of the...
... Alan, One more thing.. I actually didn't answer your question regarding syntax. Since Frink supports assignments as an expression, even within the context...
Alan, Thought you might be interested in this link about Interval Arithmetic http://research.sun.com/minds/2004-0527/ Scott ... [Non-text portions of this...
... Thanks! I have read that before, and Bill Walster was very helpful in providing suggestions and papers for some of the trickier functions in interval...
I was recently reading Dan Simmons' ridiculously brilliant book _Olympos_ and thought I noticed an error (verified with Frink.) Dan made some clever comments...
I've made some performance improvements to function calling in Frink. The largest improvements have been to functions that have a return statement as the last...
I've released a new version of Frink that fixes some problems in constructing classes with cyclical definitions... that is, classes that contain instances of...
If you're a fan of being tracked, you may have a custom Google homepage. If so, here's a simple Google Gadget that you can add to it, giving you Frink at your...
All, Just a bug report - it looks like frink isn't available on http://futureboy.homeip.net/frinkjar/frink.jar At least I'm try to get it through the link...

... Ed, Thanks for the note! Something must have gone wrong in the build process and I didn't notice it. It's back now, and I apologize for having it offline...
Hello Alan, I'd like to confirm that the new release 3.04 of Frink runs indeed much better on my Nokia 9210i. Frink starts in a matter of seconds, and...
... Knut, Thanks very much for the positive report! It's always nice to hear good news. Since I don't own any of these handheld devices, it's very helpful to...
Alan, I think that the Nokia Communicator comes with a Java Virtual Machine that is built into a ROM drive and cannot be upgraded. Nokia effectively no longer...
As you may or may not have noticed, my website which hosts Frink has been offline for the last week or so while I moved and the new DSL line order was lost by...
Hey guys and gals! I have a coupla questions for you. 1) Is there any way someone could whip up a tutorial or two for n00bs such as myself? 2) I use a Zaurus...
... Unfortunately, I don't have anything that's just a "quick start" tutorial. I recently gave a presentation which would be considered a tutorial, but it's...
... Thanks for your consideration! I eagerly await your reply. I think Frink goes a long way into turning my c1000 into a semi-sentient motherbox. The...
hey all, how flexible is the 'standard' units file that comes with frink? I'd like to add other units (mostly to do with energy densities, masses of materials,...

... I just added the ability for Frink to read a static file of the Consumer Price Index data for historical U.S. dollar values. If it can't connect to the...
... Certainly! I hope it is of some use to you. Mr. Peschko has me wondering... My goal is to get a degree in Bio-Medical Engineering. I'm currently enrolled...
I downloaded the Zaurus .ipk installed it and tested it with "1250 dollar_1987 -> dollar. I got an error Uknown symbol "dollar" and "1250 dollar_1987...
... Thanks for the bug report! As I noted in my last e-mail to this list, I believe that yesterday's build was entirely broken. Could you please download and...
... Success! Evidently 15 year 1913 dollars equals around 308.33 year 2006 dollars. Much Appreciated. I'd be happy to test more functions for you, just give...
... The standard units file is quite flexible. Hopefully, you shouldn't have to modify the units in there (unless you're, say, a surveyor and you want the...
... I would like to contribute, but I don't know where to start. Are we talking about parsing text files for data, hand input, or a combination of both? Since...
... I've imported data by parsing text files, or typing in text by hand, or dictating in tables of numbers with a voice dictation program. As long as the...
... [snip] It would be nice if I actually tested code samples before posting them, wouldn't it? There was a dumb mistake in there and one more subtle issue. A...
... Here's a preliminary shot at it. Please let me know if anyone finds any errors. I used the IUPAC table 03 October version. Also for uncertainty levels I...
