The main point of this program is to amuse friends with the contrast between the hi-tech Palm and the retro roman numerals. This effect is spoiled by the program posting arabic numerals as well as the roman. Please, add an option to suppress the arabic numerals in the next revision.

The calculations and results are correct. By the way, 1999 is written properly as M.CM.XC.IX (dots for your convenience. There is no such thing as MIM (not even after the Western Roman Empire came into being and the Eastern Empire fell). Thanks for still making this a freeware.

Not ridiculous nor pathetic. Writing MCMXCIX is correct, instead of MIM, which is somewhat incorrect, even if there is some Roman numerical system that would write "1999" this way. Very very good program, indeed. And... AFAIK, writing "MCM" is possible (I've done it).

1999 is not written as MIM.

The program doesn't do what it claims to do: properly calculating with roman numerals. If I subtract one (I) from two thousand (MM), I should get MIM. Program gives me MCMXCIX, which is 1900, 90 and 9 in a row. I can't even enter MCM (1900), because the program "sorts" the latin digits by value! Ridiculous & pathetic.
