We have hosted the application note cruncher in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about note cruncher:

Console based notepad number cruncher makes calculations fast and simple, yet with ample features under the hood. With log turned on, you can record your session on-the-fly from any open instance of the program.

Features:

• Minimal initialization steps enables fast launching of the program.
• Ignores meaningless characters so you can put comments and text within the calculation, or simply use it as a note-taking tool. The program picks out patterns matching variable names, numbers and operators to return a relevant answer.
• Designed to log session line-by-line. If log is turned on, it automatically saves each line to disk.
• Aims to avoid using external dependencies to keep the application self-contained and portable between operating systems.
• Convenient shell-scripting utility or shell calculator -- takes commandline arguments and passes them to calculator the same as commands entered at the prompt, so quick single-line expressions can be evaluated and immediately returned.
• Allows access to system commands so shell commands and scripts can be invoked from the calculator shell.
• A classic problem with other CLI calculators is a need to use "" when passing arguments with shell operators. This application aims to provide alternate operators so fast calcs can be passed with minimal keystrokes. Example: Allows use of '[]' and '{}' interchangeably with '()' to work around conflicts when passing arguments from the shell.
• Define and use variables.
• Behaves like a shell, so you can scroll back to see past calculations. Up/Down keys repeat commands.
