Dear calc user,
|
||||
|
||||
See the HOWTO.INSTALL file for information on how to build and install calc.
|
||||
|
||||
To be sure that your version of calc is up to date, check out:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/calc-download.html
|
||||
|
||||
We are interested in any/all feedback on recent versions of calc.
|
||||
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. The following assume that you
|
||||
are running calc from the distribution directory or that you have
|
||||
installed calc. In these examples, the ">" is the calc prompt, not
|
||||
something that you type in.
|
||||
|
||||
For list of help topics:
|
||||
|
||||
> help
|
||||
|
||||
For overview of calc overview:
|
||||
|
||||
> help intro
|
||||
> help overview
|
||||
> help command
|
||||
> help define
|
||||
> help statement
|
||||
> help variable
|
||||
> help usage
|
||||
|
||||
For list of builtin functions:
|
||||
|
||||
> help builtin
|
||||
|
||||
C programmers should note some unexpected differences in the calc syntax:
|
||||
|
||||
> help unexpected
|
||||
|
||||
Calc is shipped with a standard collection of calc resource files.
|
||||
For a list of calc standard resource files see:
|
||||
|
||||
> help resource
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
See the file:
|
||||
|
||||
help/todo
|
||||
help/wishlist
|
||||
|
||||
or run:
|
||||
|
||||
calc help todo
|
||||
calc help wishlist
|
||||
|
||||
for a wish/todo list. Code contributions are welcome.
