Hey guys,
I know this thread is almost dead, but I remembered something important regarding expression evaluators while working on another post by Agamemnus. I'll repeat here what I wrote to him.

DON'T THROW THIS PROGRAM AWAY. About 2 years ago a supervisor from the accounting dept where I worked, asked me to write a simple expression evaluator to be used in a data entry program.

The data that was entered into this program, very often had to be multiplied or divided by an exchange rate to convert it to US Dollars or Mexican Pesos. The person having to do the data entry would have to enter the data into a calculator and then enter the result into the data entry program, increasing the time and risk of error.

This supervisor's brilliant idea was to have me enhance the data entry program to recognize that an expression was entered, resolve the expression, and enter the result directly.

PRETTY COOL IDEA, NO?
