Assam-Adder: 40-Number Adder that Edits & Recalls
v2.2

Big addition sums, with tens of contributing numbers to be added up, are an integral part of any business, any association or even any household. Assam-Adder, tailor-suited for just this need, is an intuitive, as if on-paper, 40-number adder calculator that can add up to forty contributing later-modifiable terms, whether very large (up to several billions) or very small (up to a few millionth parts of one). There are also special provisions for multiple occurrences of the same term within a given calculation. Any earlier addition problem, in any one of its past modifications, may be instantly located & recalled here, so as to be re-calculated or further modified. This facility is particularly useful for businesses and organizations needing to recall old calculations. In Assam-Adder, text version of any current or even any past calculation may also be immediately obtained as a 'session report', which may be copied to any word-processor document and then easily formatted and/or printed.

This Windows software (screenshot shown below) has been developed (using the Visual FoxPro 6 platform) by Rituraj Kalita, a resident of Guwahati, Assam (India) first during June, 2003 in a rudimentary non-recalling form (Add40Num), and is now being distributed as a freeware (i.e., free software) by Eastern Star Software, Guwahati.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. I know that we may run Assam-Adder by double-clicking at the desktop icon named 'assam-adder - 40-no, recalling'. But in my case, where is that desktop icon?
I'm sorry that in your case the Assam-Adder Installer was unable to copy the shortcut (link) icon (file) to your Windows desktop -- for most of the computers it succeeds! But you may easily do that yourself. To do this yourself, open the working folder (e.g., C:\Assam_Adder), starting from, say, 'My Computer'. From that working folder find and copy the link-file named 'assam-adder - 40-no, recalling' (see picture of that link-file below), and then paste that link-file to your 'Windows desktop' to facilitate running the Assam-Adder application in future.

  

2. I keep getting an error message: 'Row or column position is off the screen!' whenever I try to run (i.e., open) Assam-Adder. Where is the problem?
Most probably your monitor (VDU) screen resolution (screen area in Windows terminology) is not set to a level high enough (i.e., at least to a level of 800 by 600 pixels). You may try improving this particular Windows setting (via Control Panel - Display), or as a simpler option may also try changing the aforesaid desktop-icon's properties to have Assam-Adder always run in 'full-screen (i.e., maximized) window' mode - this solution also generally works.

3. In Assam-Adder, how can we cater for multiple occurrences (say, thrice) of the same term (say, 1450) within a given addition, without typing that term several times (say, three times)?
In such a case, simply type the number (say, 3) of multiple occurrences of that term (say, 1450) in the corresponding right (i.e., the 'factor') side space for that term. [Note: In case of single (i.e., usual) occurrences, just leave that 'factor' side space as it is (i.e., as '    1') or may even keep that space blank (which would just mean 1 in Assam-Adder v2.2)]

4. How to backup the addition-history?
The addition-history resides only in the file named Addn_Hist (exactly speaking, named Addn_Hist.dbf) in the working folder (generally, the folder C:\Assam_Adder). So, to backup the addition-history, just backup this particular file (say, to a removable pen-drive). When your hard-disk fails, first re-install Assam-Adder, then copy this file back into the Assam-Adder working folder.

5. Why can't I change the Assam-Adder addition-history? Can I renew (i.e., reset) it?
Why, history shouldn't be changed, isn't it? But you may surely erase the entire addition-history at one go, if you really feel   over-burdened with this heritage of addition-history! To do that, just delete the above-mentioned file (Addn_Hist.dbf) - you'll see that your addition-history hhas been renewed, i.e., got reset.
