Thanks for comments, Brian. With an earlier APL+Win prototype I had much greater control over the gui. The wd interface is very easy to throw a form together, but limiting. I couldn't find how to get a multi-selection listview, hence the gold bars. The separate "g" and "panel" fields are a bummer.
I'm planning to implement a fully isigraph front-end, which should have a smoother feel. The appeal of TABULA will rely very much on its look and feel. There are too many buttons as it stands. Shift-button combinations will alleviate things here. Button "unit" is position (1 4) in the bottom buttons, but it's redundant now that you can type-in units directly. I see you're getting rounded buttons on your Mac where I'm getting square ones. > Also, my numeric result after the three merges differs slightly from > the numeric result on the jwiki: 179405 vs 170458 J. This is what I get too, now. It's due to my recently using a more accurate value of g, or [ea.g] as TABULA calls it (since [g] is grams), the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface.
