Dear alpha tester,
Thanks for taking the time to try out this alpha version of calc! We are
interested in any/all feedback that you may have on this version. In
particular we would like to hear about:
* compile problems
* regression test problems (try: make check)
* compiler warnings
* 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!
Calc distributions may be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/calc
If you don't have ftp access to that site, or if you do not find a more
recent version (you may have a special pre-released version that is
more advanced than what is in the ftp archive) send EMail to:
chongo@toad.com
Indicate the version you have and that you would like a more up
to date version.

Misc items TODO before Beta release:
* improve the coverage in the 'SEE ALSO' help file lists
* where reasonable, be sure that regress.cal tests builtin functions
* add the Blum-Blum-Shub random() generator code
* add code to allow of the reading, writing and processing of binary data
* add shs, shs-1 and md5 hashing functions. Use align32.h.
* add mod h*2^n+/-1 function for integers
* be sure that CHANGES is up to date,
look over the help/todo file and update as needed,
revisit issues in the BUGS file and
change this file :-)
* clean the source code and document it better
