48 Hi Dale,
49
50 thanks for googling qcalc from "the other side" :)
51
52 The first qcalc is described as
53 "QCalc today is a simple calculator for the T-Mobile Hiptop, with the potential to be so much more."
54 ...so since "T-Mobile" is involved it seems an app. Chances are very
55 small, that this a "nerds only" application, who run a linux
56 commandline on their phones... :)
57
58 The second qcalc is a link to a german company, which build radiator
59 installations and such (sorry, my english is limited). Their qcalc
60 is a "heat dissapation and delivery calculation software" ... very
61 specialized and no commandline thingy.
62
63 Thanks a lot for your googling, Sir ! :)))
64
65 Cheers
66 Meino
