KIPCalc

KIPCalc is a highly functional IPv4 network calculator that can perform a wide range of network calculations with ease. Before acquiring the software, ensure that the system you are using has KDE 3.5.x installed as it is a fundamental requirement for its successful operation.

The installation process of KIPCalc is simple and straightforward, and can be accomplished by following these steps:

First, navigate to the directory that contains the source code of the package, and then type `./configure' to configure the package to your system. If your system uses an old version of System V, and you are using `csh', type `sh ./configure' to prevent `csh' from running `configure' on its own. Note that running the `configure' process takes some time and generates messages about the features that it is examining.

Once configured, type `make' to compile the package, and optionally `make check' to run any self-tests provided with the package. After this, type `make install' to install the programs, including data files and documentation.

When done utilizing the program, you can delete the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'. To erase any files generated by `configure' when compiling the package, type `make distclean'. If other programs are needed to regenerate files that were in the original distribution, use `make maintainer-clean' (which is intended mainly for the software's developers).

All in all, KIPCalc is an exceptional and high-powered network calculator that is easy to install, configure and use. Its design makes it perfect for all network calculations, but make sure your system has the necessary KDE 3.5.x installed, and you have followed the series of steps outlined above for successful installation.
