Sadly, I have no idea where the program might be today. Probably in a
landfill somewhere.


Any of these perhaps?

0 or decimals, negative or complex numbers doesn't exist in Roman numerals.
They used their numerals just to count things.

For engineers and such, the new calculator could be pretty nice for all
the scientific functions...but for most folks the classic calculator
from those very ancient days of Win8.1 is probably just fine.

Few here under 100 years of age have probably even heard of Windows 8.1
, so thanks for those wonderful memories of times now past.

BTW: I guess Windows 7 must have done calculations using Roman numerals.

I'd say this: if you want to create a calculator to do arithmetic in
Roman numerals, I'd advise using my converter to convert to decimal
first, then do the calculations, then convert back :-)

How do you cope with zero in roman numerals?

Precisely! So how can one write a calculator using Roman numerals?
