I have fixed the calculation of Julian Day in Frink for dates B.C., including dates in the very distant past. Because Frink internally uses Julian Day to...

... In short, it's up to the management at Apple. Frink is written in Java and requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run in. (A JVM is just another piece...
I'm happy to announce that Frink can now draw graphics! This is probably the largest single update of Frink ever, and it adds the ability to easily draw...
The latest Frink release adds the ability to draw text into Frink's new graphics. Text is high-quality, and has transparent, anti-aliased edges. Text can...
There have been a variety of improvements to Frink since my last announcement on this list. Here are some of them: * Frink's graphics package now has a new...

The new Frink release adds some powerful new image loading and drawing capabilities! Frink now has the ability to load bitmap image files (e.g. JPEG, GIF,...
I probably don't understand intervals well enough yet, but if x = new interval[-2,2] [-2,2] and x^2 [0, 4] then why doesn't abs[x] yield [0,2]? Further, why...
... Good question. The short answer is that I'm following the convention for abs[x] that's defined in one of the seminal works on interval arithmetic, Ramon...
I posted a query about abs[x] to the primary interval analysis mailing list last night, and have received several replies, some directly useful, some not. I'm...
I'm forwarding my follow-up message about abs[x] to the intervals list, which discusses the results of my surveys of other programming languages that implement...
The current release of Frink fixes some "Class not found" exceptions that may have occurred when calling some functions, notably graphics.write[] and...
... As of the current release, the behavior of the abs[x] function is changed for interval arguments (real or complex arguments are not changed.) It now does...
I ran the example from the documentation for graphics: g = new graphics. However in the units.txt datafile, g is used for the gram units. Is there some way to...
