Fed up with the awful bc and dc commands supplied with every UNIX
system ? Try version 1.01 of this new program - calc. At long last - you can
type expressions in a "natural" BASIC-style syntax and get your answers out
quickly without having to learn Reverse Polish Notation or some other clumsy
syntax !
This code is freely re-distributable and modifiable.

To compile:
[Edit Makefile for your site, particularly the TREE setting]
gmake
To test:
./calc 1+2/3
[should output "1.66666666666667"]
To install:
gmake install
Notes:
* This package has no "original" URL other than the HP-UX archive one because
one of its porters is the author.
* There are no functionality changes between calc 1.00 and 1.01, just edits
to remove gcc compiler warnings and also a Makefile is supplied instead of an Imakefile.
