Fixed a \-escape bug in calc(1) man page.
Added cal/comma.cal:
Convert numbers into strings with 3-digit group and integer-fraction
separators.
If the value is an integer, the integer-fraction separator is not used.
str_comma(x, [group, [decimal]])
Convert x into a string.
If group is given and is a string, group will be used as
the 3-digit group separator, otherwise the default 3-digit
group separator will be used.
If decimal is given and is a string, group will be used as
the integer-fraction separator, otherwise the default
integer-fraction separator will be used.
The decimal and group arguments are optional.
set_default_group_separator(group)
Change the default 3-digit group separator if group is a string,
otherwise the default 3-digit group separator will not be
changed. Return the old 3-digit group separator.
set_default_decimal_separator(decimal)
Change the default 3-digit group separator if decimal is a
string, otherwise the default integer-fraction separator
will not be changed. Return the old integer-fraction separator.
print_comma(x, [group, [decimal]])
Print the value produced by str_comma(x, [group, [decimal]])
followed by a newline.
If the str_comma() does not return a string, nothing is printed.
The decimal and group arguments are optional.
The value produced by str_comma() is returned.
fprint_comma(fd, x, [group, [decimal]])
Print the value produced by str_comma(x, [group, [decimal]]),
without a trailing newline, on file fd.
If the str_comma() does not return a string, nothing is printed.
If fd is not an open file, nothing is printed.
The decimal and group arguments are optional.
The value produced by str_comma() is returned.
Fixed a mistake in "help intro" where some inserted text
changed the value of "." and thus made the next result
incorrect.
Clarified in "help factor" that 1 is returned if no
factor below the limit was found.
Removed Makefile variable ${MAKEFILE_REV}.
The missing cscript/square.calc file has been restored.
Fixed compiler errors and warnings related to GCC.
In particular, gcc/9.3.1 and gcc/10.2.1 now compile
calc without any compiler errors or warnings,
even with -Werror -Wextra -pedantic.
To print out information about the calc compliation
environment, we added the following make rule:
make calcinfo
Improved how 'make debug' operates.
Moved help/contrib to CONTRIB-CODE. The help/contrib file
is now build from a copy of CONTRIB-CODE.
Created a new calc bug report Email address. Created a new calc
question Email address. Created a new calc contribution Email
address. See the BUGS file for details.
Added "help questions" to print the QUESIONS help file.
If the environment variable $CALCHELP is defined and is non-empty,
then calc help files will be in the direcgory by the $CALCHISTFILE
environment variable.
If the environment variable $CALCCUSTOMHELP is defined and is
non-empty, then custom calc help files will be in the direcgory
by the $CALCCUSTOMHELP environment variable.
The calc-tester mailing list has been retired. See:

Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)
Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.
RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are
switching to git.
Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!
