Release 5 UNSUPPORTED

NAME

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 environment variable should contain this directory path in order to run this client.  See the release notes for more information. 

Vuefincalc is a financial calculator tool with a Motif-based user interface.  It provides the following capabilities:

• RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) calculator with four functions, 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, declining balance, Modified ACRS, and sum-of-year-digits depreciation 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 depreciation 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 functions. 

• 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 vertical instead of horizontal.  With a proportionally-spaced font, this can result in reducing the amount of screen space taken by vuefincalc.  Defaults to false.
