Houston, TX - July 24, 1997 - Component Caf announces the release of
Version 2.0 of a suite of ActiveX/OCX or VCL software components for
Windows developers writing applications that require complex
calculations or financial, statistical, and mathematical functions.

Eval-O-Matic is an ActiveX/OCX (for Visual Basic or VC++) or VCL (for
Borland Delphi) control that can automatically parse and evaluate any
string expression. Eval-O-Matic allows users to enter complex
Microsoft Excel? compatible financial, statistical, and mathematical
functions and have them evaluated in run-time. There are over 100
built-in functions, and you can add new ones by handling the
UserFunction event. The Eval-O-Matic is an invisible control to allow
you the flexibility to design the user interface you choose or to
integrate it with another control, such as your favorite grid control.
Developers simply set Eval-O-Matic's Expression property and read the
Result property.  In addition, Eval-O-Matic handles the details of
operator  precedence and nested parentheses.  You can download a
fully-functioning demo version of Eval-O-Matic at
http://www.*-*-*.com/

Calc-O-Matic is a calculator ActiveX/OCX (for Visual Basic or VC++) or
VCL (for Borland Delphi) control that makes it very easy to implement
very powerful calculators into your programs.  Calc-O-Matic allows
developers to choose from Standard, Scientific, Extended Scientific,
and Financial styles. You can download a fully-functioning demo
version of Calc-O-Matic at http://www.*-*-*.com/

Both Eval-O-Matic and Calc-O-Matic can be purchased individually or
together in a Suite.

"By combining Eval-O-Matic and Calc-O-Matic, developers can easily
create customized applications that fit the needs of all classes of
users," said Maheesh Jain, president of Component Cafe.  "In addition,
developers can hardwire the expression engine and the function library
to other controls to provide a robust solution for novice users; or
use the calculator front end to allow power users to enter their own
expressions."
