For me the current layout is very natural, the prefixes are ordered from the smallest on the left to the biggest on the right.

I feel like Pyjam here.
·m should be aligned with ·k, ·μ with ·M, …

For Mac and Linux, you need to install the development environment and compile the program yourself. For Windows, it's simpler: the executable program is supplied with each version. For Mac, my knowledge is somewhere between non-existent and very limited! Jaymos is best placed to help with installat...

No, it works with the 3 main OS's: Mac, Windows and Linux.

We didn't use the Farey fractions method in WP43 and C47, but rather the continuous fraction method.

It was one of the 1st programs I wrote for my PC1500.

You can also try to force the portrait mode by using a command line parameter wp43.exe --portrait snippet of code: calcLandscape = false; calcAutoLandscapePortrait = true; for(int arg=1; arg<argc; arg++) { if(strcmp(argv[arg], "--landscape") == 0) { calcLandscape = true; calcAutoLandscapeP...
