Binomial Probability Calculator

README for PROBABIL Binomial Probability Calculator program for OS/2 2.x Presentation Manager Date : 10/31/93 - Version 1.10 PROBABIL is an OS/2 2.x Presentation Manager program for calculating probabilities using the Binomial probability functions. The program functions like a specialized calculator, but without normal calculator capabilities. INSTALLATION The supplied ZIP file contains three files. The files are: README.TXT - This file. PROBABIL.EXE - The executable program. PROBABIL.HLP - The program's Help file. The recommended installation procedure is to copy PROBABIL.EXE and PROBABIL.HLP into the same directory. Once done, copy a program template object from the OS/2 "Templates" folder to the folder or desktop where you want the executable icon to reside. After this is completed, you need to access the new program object's settings notebook, to tell OS/2 the name of the program and where it is located. It is important to correctly specify both the "Path and file name" as well as the "Working directory" on the proper page of this notebook. If not done, you will not be able to access the program's Help file, which is necessary to learn how the calculator program works. Once the program's icon is in place, double click the icon to execute the program. When done, the calculator should be present on your screen. Access the Help menu item to learn how the calculator works. If your system is running at 1024x768 resolution with the large (XGA style) fonts, the calculator's default character size will be to large for your display. You can change to a smaller font by selecting the Options/Font size menu item. The smaller font may also be invoked on start up by using a /s command line argument. This command line argument should placed in the Optional Parameters line of the program's Settings notebook. As a matter of record (which is also one of my own pet gripes), this program makes no changes or additions to your .INI files, so you are able to freely move it around and/or delete it without leaving any remnants of its visit in place. LICENSE & WARRANTY As author, I am placing the program into the public domain subject only to the provisions that it not be sold by others for profit except as part of software collections in which a nominal charge maybe made for the media used for distribution, and that it not be modified in any form to hide the source of the program.
