Googol + (32-bit and 64-bit)
Release 2.01
The Arbitrary Precision Calculator for Windows
The first edition of Googol+ was
launched in 2007, but we posted it in another
website. Four years later Googol+ is still the only
genuine Arbitrary Precision Windows Calculator you
can find. Now, we decided to deeply revamp
this product and add 64-bit processing power if you
have a 64-bit operating system (Googol+, 64-bit
edition is a few times faster in lengthy
tasks, like factoring) .
Both the 32-bit and 64-bit editions
are in the same distribution, you will get the
64-bit edition installed if you have a 64-bit
operating system, otherwise it will install the
32-bit.

The Windows Calculator is not good
enough for every task, many people need more than
calculate with 32 significant digits.
Let us experiment and calculate 3 10000
both with the Windows Calculator and Googol+ then
compare the outputs.
Amazing... this is what arbitrary
precision calculators are intended for.
We have seen arbitrary precision calculators able to run
under Microsoft Windows, but all of them are barebones
and appear to have been ported from Unix to run on a
console that emulates MS-DOS.
Googol+ is a long leap forward in every respect.
First notice how the interface is radically different
from what you got used to:
Data is inputted and outputted into large boxes not on a
single line edit box as usual. You can enter data using
the keyboard or preferably by pasting, there are no 0-9
buttons to enter digits into the boxes because we are
dealing with big numbers and buttons increase the
probability of errors. Notice that low precision
software calculators, like the Windows Calculator,
imitate the design of physical hand calculators but we
can not imitate a physical arbitrary precision hardware
calculator because have never seen one.
Probably, you will take a couple of minutes to get used
to this interface, then you will feel at least as
comfortable with it as with the Windows Calculator
interface. |

Atelier Web Remote Commander 8.05 is
available, optimizes and fixes a number of issues. This is a
maintenance release but we recommend you to install it. AWRC is both the easiest to use and
most powerful remote access software you can find. Just try to
confirm.

Googol+, the Windows Arbitrary
Precision Calculator was posted in another website since 2007.
However, its popularity has far exceeded what I expected, so we
revamped it, added 64-bit native code support and brought it here as
version 2.0 for the prime-time exposure it deserves.

I have been posting a series of
original articles on programming. Some of them very advanced, others
not so, but always in an easy language, or at least I
try. Recently, I started posting articles on Code Project as well,
like this one.
