If you notice something wrong, strange or broken, try rereading:
|
|
|
|
README.FIRST
|
|
README
|
|
BUGS (in particular the bottom problems or mis-features section)
|
|
|
|
If that does not help, cd to the calc source directory and try:
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
Look at the end of the output, it should say something like:
|
|
|
|
9999: passed all tests /\../\
|
|
|
|
If it does not, then something is really broken!
|
|
|
|
If you made and modifications to calc beyond the simple Makefile
|
|
configuration, try backing them out and see if things get better.
|
|
|
|
Check to see if the version of calc you are using is current. Calc
|
|
distributions may be obtained from the official calc repository:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/calc
|
|
|
|
If you are an alpha or beta tester, you may have a special pre-released
|
|
version that is more advanced than what is in the ftp archive.

If you have tried all of the above and things still are not right,
|
|
then it may be time to send in a bug report. You can send bug reports to:
|
|
|
|
calc-tester@postofc.corp.sgi.com
|
|
|
|
When you send your report, please include the following information:
|
|
|
|
* a description of the problem
|
|
|
|
* the version of calc you are using (if you cannot get calc
|
|
it to run, then send us the 4 #define lines from version.c)
|
|
|
|
* if you modified calc from an official patch, send me the mods you made
|
|
|
|
* the type of system you were using
|
|
|
|
* the type of compiler you were using
|
|
|
|
* cd to the calc source directory, and type:
|
|
|
|
make debug > debug.out 2>&1 (sh, ksh, bash users)
|
|
make debug >& debug.out (csh, tcsh users)
|
|
|
|
and send the contents of the 'debug.out' file.
|
|
|
|
Stack traces from core dumps are useful to send as well.

The official calc repository is located in:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/calc
|
|
|
|
If you don't have ftp access to that site, or if your version is more
|
|
recent than what has been released to the ftp archive, you may, as a
|
|
last resort, send EMail to:
|
|
|
|
chongo@toad.com
|
|
|
|
Indicate the version you have and that you would like a more up to date version.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Send any comments, suggestions and most importantly, fixes (in the form
|
|
of a context diff patch) to:
|
|
|
|
calc-tester@postofc.corp.sgi.com

Known problems or mis-features:
|
|
|
|
* In calc2.10.2t3, when scan() reads characters from stdin, they
|
|
are not echoed. This also happens with fgets(files(0)) and
|
|
fgetline(files(0)). Reports indicate that this did not happen in
|
|
calc.2.10.1t20 but did in 2.10.2t0.
|
|
|
|
* Many of LIBRARY, LIMITS and SEE ALSO sections of help files
|
|
for builtins are either inconsistent or missing information.
|
|
|
|
* The functions filepos2z() and z2filepos() do not work (or
|
|
worse do not compile) when FILEPOS is 64 bits long.
|
|
|
|
* There is some places in the source with obscure variable names
|
|
and not much in the way of comments. We need some major cleanup
|
|
and documentation.
