1. Oow got ripped by a review...
"xabacus really bad": Not my idea to distribute without Motif, but the
intent was that its supposed to be minimalistic, sort of like oclock.
2. "xmabacus app is out of date:
Adding toggles to menu buttons may help here. Otherwise, maybe somewhat
due Motif interface, seem hard to add more modern features to old API,
probably overtime to adopt Gnome or KDE. (Leaning towards Gnome... its
so cute.) QT? Seems like just another rewrite with no benefit over Java.
3. Ancient Roman Numerals in display and Modern Roman Numerals on
abacus only available from command-line. Can add to menu if anyone
wants it.
4. What graphics in menu would help?
5. The calculator portion does not work for big numbers, i.e. where
one can type in math operations and see the abacus perform, e.g.
5,000,000,000,000,000.0+1.
6. When displayBase != base calculate with strings instead of
"long long". I.e. the number of rails can be large if displayBase =
base, but may error out when this is not true for a large number of
rails.
7. Allow for locale to use "," for "." and vice versa.
It might be confusing to change this if one actually wanted to try
different locales, e.g. Danish Abacus.

8. Handling of negatives would be nice (work started with complement
function).
9. "Teach" has beads and rail highlighted to make clear the current
position of calculation for digit; should this be extended to highlight
a printed digit?
10. Developing Custom Draw Controls i.e. NM_CUSTOMDRAW. Would this help
make "widgets" in Window (so Lee's Abacus could run there)?
