This is Whistle Calculator running as an applet. It demonstrates the core functionality of the program. The full functionality (for example load and save) can only be used when the 'stand-alone' application is downloaded and run. This is not some evil scheme to get my code onto your machine, but a feature of Java's 'sand box' philosophy of protecting your computer from potentially harmful code on the web.
I would like to thank

New in Version 2.01:
Version 2.01 is mainly a maintenance release, but I got carried away and added some extra goodies:
- The built in scale patters for Major JI + b7 contained an error for the thumbholes leading to errors in the whistle calculations. This has been fixed.
- A new view option has been added so that the whistle can be viewed translucently. This means that holes 'behind' whistle can be seen , paler than holes 'at the front'. The setting is remembered in the ini file.
- Error logging and tracing skeleton has been implemented. You will see some error log files created when you run The Whistle Calculator. You can delete these at any time. Expect to see more control over error logging and tracing appearing - but we hope never to need to use it!
- File extensions (for example '.wdf ') are added for you if you forget when specifying a save file name.
- The menu bar has been rearranged slightly, so the list of whistles has its own drop-down menu.
- Cut Off ratios are displayed for each hole. The cutoff ratio goes red when it drops below 2. The cut off ratios can be hidden, the setting is remembered in the ini file.
- The cutoff ratio graph can be turned off from the View Menu. The setting is remembered in the ini file.
