This software is included as a utility inside Adaptive Randomization, Predictive Probabilities, and Multc Lean.
J. Kyle Wathen and Hoang Nguyen developed the user interface using C# and the Microsoft .NET framework version 1.1.
John Cook implemented the numerical algorithms using Visual C++. Technical reports are available for numerical algorithms [1] and analytical results [2] related to the Inequality Calculator.
