How often have you sat at your computer in the middle of editing some
document, sans calculator, and needed to divide 53 by 15.24?  Well,
happily you're not alone.  Terrance Emerson had the same problem and
came up with a solution:  Ez Calculator.  This handy, desktop
calculator with a scrolling electronic tape can be run as a standard
DOS application or alternatively as a TSR.  As a TSR, it can be
invoked in the middle of another application to provide a quick
answer to a math problem.  Just in case you're wondering:  3.47769.
