Starting with GNOME 2.23, Robert Ancell will be taking over as the chief maintainer of gcalctool, the default calculator that comes with the GNOME distribution. For GNOME 2.22, Robert did an excellent job of converting the gcalctool UI to use Glade, becoming intimately familiar with the code in the process. Since then he has continued to support gcalctool, and I thank him for his time and enthusiasm. I know he has lots of great ideas for future work too. I will still be around to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible and to occasionally provide a bug fix or two. The first version of this calculator was written in 1986. It's still out there on the net [1]. It's come a long way since then. It's certainly more that 300 lines of code and 1/2MB in size nowadays. I'd like to thanks everybody who has helped make [g]calctool what it is today. See the AUTHORS file in the source distribution [2] for a potted history. -- Rich Burridge Email: [email protected] Los Altos, CA.
