Hi all;
I did solve the previous complaint about the TDE version of kcalc losing its binary input and bitfield display, by making two links in the menu's, one to the old KDE kcalc, and one to the TDE kcalc.
But I/we have another problem. Back around kubuntu 6.04 LTS time, kcalc had a pair of menu macros to do inch to metric, and metric to inch.
By ubu 10.04 LTS, those disappeared, apparently never to be seen again.
Whats chances those could be resurrected for the R14.2 version of TDE?
Surely the older codebase still exists someplace, and for us who live in both worlds as I was in electronics for 55 years of my working life, and that pair of macro's were, while they existed, handier than bottled beer & sliced bread in keeping the two measurement worlds on the same page around my piece of this planet. But now its gone. Sniff...
Cheers, Gene Heskett
I don't have the Ubuntu source archive from that long ago; if you can dig up a working source (I need the source .debs, not the binary .debs) it should be trivial to port.

Gah, obviously I don't either Tim. Have the older repos at ubuntu, say for 8.04LTS been recycled by now? I would hope not, but lemme see what google upchucks. Looks like the src repo's are the first to go, nothing older than 10.04 LTS and that is at least a version newer.
I'll ask on the kubuntu list.
Thanks Tim.
Ubuntu 8.04 == KDE 3.5.9 => kcalc is from source package kdeutils 3.5.9 => see sources in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdeutils/
I hope that one is old enough, thank you Slávek.
