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.

Dear calc user,

|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
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.
