... Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. I told myself that I'd have Frink doing its first symbolic algebra by the end of February, and it looks like we're...
Hopefully I don't miss anything and am able to keep the incoming wall o text to a manageable size. So I will attempt a micro-burst transmission. I understand...
If you write programs that use Frink's sun.frink library, I have made some changes that may affect your programs. The functions that perform navigation...
... These are great suggestions! Sorry for the delay in responding. I was hoping that I'd get a chance to build one or two of them, but I've gotten stuck on...
Well, quite Frinkly I'm abit of a knucklehead so I appreciate your patience! I saw that Frink calculates Trig functions but I wanted to be able to pull up the...
... Ah, this is an interesting tradeoff. As I'm building symbolic algebra capabilities into Frink, there are lots of tradeoffs of this type that I'll have to...
... I didn't feel this to be a shortcoming whatsoever btw. I just wanted to create a cheat sheet to work basic newb trig functions. ... /selfbonk thanks for...
... Keeping Frink's file size reasonable is quite important, especially for people who run it on very memory-limited handheld devices. The more functions and...

I've made some changes to the addition (+) operator in Frink. It's entirely likely that you'd never notice these changes (except that the code may be slightly...
First off, thanks for creating such an amazing tool! The potential for what can be done with it is truely mind boggling! I recall seeing it in passing about a...
... Thanks, Glen. Hopefully it will come a long way further soon, as Frink learns to do symbolic mathematics, too. ... Frink can handle almost any unit of...
... Ah, excellent. I was writing about this topic a little while ago, and I found an excellent resource on what's called the "relativistic rocket equation."...
There's been a flurry of new features in Frink today. One of the more interesting developments is that I've finally been able to build an experimental...
The current release of Frink fixes a significant bug that was introduced recently. This bug could occur when multiplying by zero. I had added an over-eager...

Slightly off-topic: Since 2003 or so I have installed Frink on my Nokia Communicator 9210i. This is one of the devices that indeed supports "Personal Java", as...
Success! Frink 4.00 still installs and runs on a Nokia 9210i Communicator with < 4 MB of free RAM. It takes a while (2 minutes) until the result of the first...
