===========
The program
===========

Expr.vbx is a vbx file, which parses the text inputed by the user to
see if it is a numerical expression.  If so,  it do infix arithmetic 
expression parsing. 

The source code is written in C. It use so called "recursive descent" 
technique and  analysis the text to be set at the property "Strinput".
The  results  will be given at properties "NumValue", "IsNumExpr" and
 "StrLength."

It supports operators:
" +,  -,  *,  /, %,  ^ " 

and functions: 
" sin,  cos, tan, ctg or ctn, asin,  acos, atg, ln, lg or log10,  
exp, abs, sqrt, sqrt3, fix, rand or rnd."

and constants:
"pi or Pi, e"

All these functions are self-explanatory, 
	sqrt3(8) --> 2,
	rand(10) --> a random value between 0 and 10
	11%4 --> 3
	15.2%4.2 --> 2.6
	230 could be written as 2.3E2
	3^3 -->27
	(123 + sin(pi/2)) * 4^5* ln(exp(56))%11->3

A demo VB code and a dll file are also included. If the user don't have
vbrun300.dll in his/her window/system directory, he/she should download
vbrun300.dll from SimTel, CICA or other sites and put in same directory
as expr.exe or search path to run the expr.exe.

Functions provided by expr.dll:

float _export   far pascal expres( char FAR *S)
int  far pascal chkexpr(char FAR *S)

The declare statement for VB:
Declare Function chkexpr Lib "expr.dll" (ByVal S As String) As Integer
Declare Function expres Lib "expr.dll" (ByVal S As String) As Double
