<description><![CDATA[[rant] This is ridiculous! We finally get an offering which is not another video converter and a bunch of posters pop out of the woodwork crying - "It's no use to me, I don't do math!", "I'm an English major. It holds no interest" Horrors it has EQUATIONS! 

Are these people proud of their ignorance? I wonder how the English major would feel about someone who said, "I have no need for a spell checker. I don't know how to write." Why is it that people are so fearful and put off by one of the most basic and useful skills necessary for successful operation in today's world? [/rant]

Universal appeal is nearly impossible. Not even Windows itself or MS Office is wanted or needed by everybody. The power and purpose of GAOTD (as I see it), is to present software to us for a wide variety of applications or "niches". We DL and try what appeals to us or answers a need, knowing that there will be days that someone else's needs or desires will be met instead of ours.

Mathmatica is a huge, heavy duty, very expensive software package. Certainly not for everyone. But many of us could use a lightweight plotting, numerical analysis math tool package (and don't already have one). If one makes the assumption that if you need an app then you already have it there would be no point to GAOTD. Doronix's evaluation should be done on its merits as a math tool for those who want it, not on whether one likes math.

A huge benefit of GAOTD's offering "niche" products is the discovery of products that one did not know even existed. Another is the plethora of comments identifying alternative applications.

My vote is for more niche product offerings. I would far rather find one in ten truly unique and useful "niche" apps then be offered an endless stream of video converters or registry cleaners.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It installed and runs well on Linux via Wine 1.4.  I like that a lot.
The web-based help is pretty good.  I suggest continued development of the help files because that is the differentiating feature that makes it worth paying for.  I think $60 is a fair base price.]]></description>

#44-john  the help file does not work from within main program-suggest you use alt+tab to switch between main program and fbreader]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi, I read today's Comments with interest and learned something new, gone are my "maths years":), but seeing familiar frazes brings smile to my soul..

Seeing that some Folks have difficulties with installation and activating today's Software and GAOTD Team highly recommends (comm #28) to extract files to a separate folder before installation and registration - you can never go wrong with little (free) prog called "ExtractNow" I've been using for years to open any zip file (including all GAOTDs:) 

It's option is added to right click, and once you set to extract to desktop (always creates a Folder with appropriate name) - the clarity of where unzipped Files are cannot be simpler. I'm using ver 4.6.2.0, but there is newer one:  http://www.extractnow.com/. Hope it helps Someone:)]]></description>

Same problem faced with the offline help file suggested by @ fredward.

You can easily get the helpfile by pressing F1. 
It brings you to http://doronix.com/documentation.html

Just Right click and choose "Save As" 
Doronix Math Toolbox.htm
Web Page, Complete

That's your off line help file which you can view with any HTML Doc Edit software within which you can choose Browse View to activate the hyperlinks.]]></description>

Click on

Preferences
Format - choose the number of digits after the decimal place, that you wish to be displayed. The maximum is 15. 
Click on Apply

Then 
x = 11345635765
y = 54790816111
x * y = 6.21636642862e+20]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Very interesting program but seems to lack a lot of features that other free alternative to MATLAB have such as Scilab, Octave, Freemat, and many others.

Another alternative that is also really good is Euler Math Toolbox. It own package have tons of tools for almost all the advance mathematics and also integrates Maxima (for symbolic math) very well into its own packages.

<description><![CDATA[#1 Barry - I'm sure you're a nice guy, but no one gives a rats whether you can imagine a use for it or not. No one is interested in your thoughts when you haven't (a) tried the software and (b) were so quick to leave a comment because you just had to share your weak irrelevant thoughts.
#26 Mark - you do that. Just keep your comments off this feedback medium while you're at it. Maybe you can snail mail your comments in next time (i.e. so we don't have to read them). How did you manage to fire up your computer, anyway?

How about some perspective?

I like this software - for what it is.

Matlab this, Matlab that, sure, but Matlab doesn't offer a free version, and IMO is dodgy in that it asks "how much do YOU want to pay for Matlab?", etc.  Just give me the price, Scamwise Gamgi.

If you expect every giveaway to be targetted to YOUR particular needs and wants, you're ignorant to the fact that there are a lot of people out there (and guess what - some of them are not like you!) some will have use for some types of software, others won't.  If I were looking for a simple math interface - AND REMEMBER THIS IS VERSION 1.0... MAPLE, MATLAB, etc ALSO STARTED SOMEWHERE...
Hey, if I don't want to subject myself / my kids / my students / etc to dozens of features I don't need or plan to use, maybe this software would exactly fit the bill.

I tried it, I like the interface, and I would like to see what they provide in the next release.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&gt; John C. – Vista SP2 re: “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”

That is a Windows issue. You probably have the Help file on a network drive. Put it on your local C drive and it should work!]]></description>
