vuefincalc - financial calculator tool
SYNOPSIS
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/vuefincalc [-display display] [-
geometry geometry]
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This client is not supported by HP in HP-UX Release
9.0. It is included in the release, but it is now installed
in the directory /usr/contrib/bin/X11. Your $PATH environ-
ment variable should contain this directory path in order to
run this client. See the release notes for more informa-
tion.
Vuefincalc is a financial calculator tool with a Motif-based
user interface. It provides the following capabilities:
⊕ RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) calculator with four func-
tions, percent, exponential, logarithmic, square root,
integer/fraction, and stack manipulation functions.
⊕ Solve Time Value of Money problems (n, i, PV, PMT, and
FV).
⊕ Compute amortization tables.
⊕ Compute depreciation tables (using straight-line, declin-
ing balance, Modified ACRS, and sum-of-year-digits deprecia-
tion methods).
⊕ Perform discounted cash flow analysis computations (NPV
and IRR).
By using large scrolled-text displays instead of a one-line
calculator display, Vuefincalc allows you to easily scroll
through or cut/paste the calculator stack or entire depreci-
ation or amortization tables.
The Vuefincalc keyboard is divided into two areas, each with
its own display:
⊕ The right side is the RPN calculator. It allows you to
enter numbers and to perform assorted math and stack func-
tions.
⊕ The left side is the financial calculator, containing the
various financial registers and functions. The TVM register
keys (n, i, PV, PMT, FV, and others) act as both store and
solve keys -- much as on HP financial calculators.

The calculator interface should be reasonably intuitive for
users of HP financial calculators. Detailed help in using
Vuefincalc is available through the built-in Help facility.
When the Help dialog is displayed, you can click on any key,
any keyboard label, or any display area for information on
how to use those areas.
OPTIONS
-display display
Specifies the server to use. See X(1) for more
information.
-geometry geometry
Specifies the preferred size and position of the
vuefincalc window.
RESOURCES
In addition to the appearance resources (see the file
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Vuefincalc), vuefincalc defines
the following resources:
displaySetting (class DisplaySetting)
The default display setting for display of numbers.
If not specified, it defaults to the locale-
dependent value for currency display (2 digits past
the radix in most locales).
stackSize (class StackSize)
The size of the math stack in the RPN calculator.
Defaults to an infinite stack.
enterVertical (class EnterVertical)
If True, the lettering on the "ENTER" key is verti-
cal instead of horizontal. With a proportionally-
spaced font, this can result in reducing the amount
of screen space taken by vuefincalc. Defaults to
false.
