Build Information
----------------The following files are provided in TCALC.ARC and are required
in order to build TCALC.EXE:
TCALC
TCCELL
TCCELLSP

In addition, TCALC uses the OBJECTS module contained in the

\TP\OOPDEMOS directory. Make sure OBJECTS.TPU is available (in
the TCALC directory or in the UNIT DIRECOTRY) when building
TCALC.
Types of Cells
-------------Value: A number.
Text: A string - start it with a space to make sure that it
doesn't get parsed.
Formula: A string that is an expression (see explanation of
expressions below). This cell will be constantly updated (if
AutoCalc is on) to the current value of the expression.
Repeat: A cell with a character that will repeat indefinitely
across the spreadsheet. Type in the character that you want
to repeat with a leading backslash (example: type \_ to get
an underline across the screen).
General Information
------------------Columns range from A to CRXO (65535), and rows range from 1 to
65535.
The little dot in the upper left of a spreadsheet tells you
which of the spreadsheets is the current one. The number of the
spreadsheet is also printed, along with 'F' if formula display
is on and 'A' if AutoCalc is on.
The file that the spreadsheet will be saved to is listed at the
bottom of each spreadsheet, along with an asterisk if the
spreadsheet has been updated.

Expressions
----------Cell names in formulas are typed in with the column followed by
the row:
A1+A2
B6^5
To compute the sum of a group of cells, put a colon between the
first cell and the last cell in the group:
A1:A10

- Sum all of cells from A1 to A10 and puts the

result in the current cell.

A1:C10

- Sum of all of cells from A1 to A10, B1 to B10,

and C1 to C10 and puts the result in the current
cell.

The Parser
---------The state and goto information for the parser was created using
the UNIX YACC utility. The input to YACC was as follows:

%token CONST CELL FUNC

%%
e : e '+' t
| e '-' t
| t
;
t : t '*' f
| t '/' f
| f
;
f : x '^' f
| x
;
x : '-' u
| u
;
u : CELL ':' CELL
| o
;
o : CELL
| '(' e ')'
| CONST
| FUNC '(' e ')'
;
