It introduces the +new versions for XView, X11, MGR and dumb terminals. New functions +include hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic trigonometrical functions, +register exchange, constants and the input of numbers in exponential +notation. You can also have a .calctoolrc file in your home directory, +which can define upto ten new values for constants, and ten function +definitions which are used in conjunction with the FUN key. + +(port maintained by nsayer@quack.kfu.com) |
