-
- This is the second official release of calc (version 2.9.0).
-
- Calc is an arbitrary precision C-like programmable calculator with many
- builtin functions. The basic data types are integers, fractions,
- complex numbers, strings, matrices, associations, lists, files, and
- user-definable "objects". You can use it interactively to evaluate
- expressions line by line, or else you can write complicated programs in
- it's C-like language. There are many features which I will not bother
- to describe here.
-
- Calc is written entirely in C, and runs on many different platforms and
- variants of UNIX.
-
- The low-level arbitrary precision math routines have been organized into
- three libraries for handling integers, fractions, and complex numbers.
- You can call the routines in these libraries from your own C programs.
-
- The sources in this posting are also available by anonymous ftp from
- ftp.uu.net in the file pub/calc/calc2.9.0.tar.Z. The contents of the
- pub/calc directory are updated occasionally with the newest version.
-
- The calculator is copyrighted, but there are no restrictions on it other
- than the preservation of the copyright notices.
-
- Enjoy!
