ElectriCalc versus Windows 7
ElectriCalc has been around since 1996. Your software disk(s) should be in one of five categories:
* Version 1 on floppy disk
* Version 2.0 on floppy disks
* Version 2.0-2.1 on CD
* Version 2.2 on CD
* Version 2.2B on CD
This page outlines how to get ElectriCalc to run under Windows 7. Some methods involve a small cost.
The best thing you can do to prepare for W7 is to make a copy of your ecalc(2) folder on a CD or thumb drive. This also serves as a backup for your personal data.
Version 1 on floppy disk
Your software is at least 13 years old! We have offered a V1>V2 upgrade for over a decade,but have discontinued it in favor of an exchange program that will provide a new W7-compatible V2.2B CD. Mail us your floppy along with either a check for $10 or make your PayPal payment on our order page.
Version 2.0 on floppy disks
If you can get a copy of the ecalc2 folder from your old computer, you can copy this onto your W7 computer. You can then download the V2.2B upgrade from our web site that will install into the ecalc2 folder and allow it to run under W7.
If you can't make a copy of your ecalc2 folder, mail us your floppy along with either a check for $10 or make your PayPal payment on our order page.
Version 2.0-2.1 on CD

ElectriCalc Help File
One of the wonderful things Microsoft did in W7 was to omit the program that supported Help files written under Microsoft guidelines, while also forbidding vendors from including it in our installation packages. Our web site indicates how to download the software from Microsoft and allow them to check your computer to prove you are legal and worthy to use the program that previously was a standard part of the Operating System.
