In particular we would like to hear about: * compiler warnings * compile problems * regression test problems (try: make check) * special compile flags/options that you needed * Makefile problems * help file problems * misc nits and typos We would like to offer a clean compile across a wide verity of platforms, so if you can test on several, so much the better! If you run into problems, see the BUGS file. =-= Calc is distributed with an extensive collection of help files that are accessible from the command line.
