         Release:  V1.5 for BeOS, 1 Jan 1999
Compatibility:  R4
        Location:  contrib/utilities
    Description:  CLI-based scientific/programmer calculator.
             Notes:  Now includes precompiled binaries.
             
   UnixCalc is a command line calculator which can evaluate algebraic
equations and uses non-volatile history lists to store unlimited
equations, calculated results, and arbitrarily-named variables.  There
are several numerical display modes which include floating point,
scientific, and engineering notation.  The scientific mode supports
imaginary numbers for most functions.  Standard functions
(+,-,*,/,Sqrt,^) are accurate to more than 50 digits.  Based numbers
(2 to 16) are also supported along with all the standard logical
operators (see table below).

Some additional features are:
    o imaginary numbers and functions
    o unlimited named variables (up to 16 characters long)
    o automatic history logging of both equations and results
    o full scientific, transcendental, power, and logarithmic operations
    o programmer functions like and, or, shift, rotate, etc., on 172-bits!
    o choice of radian, degree, or gradian angle measurements
    o from 8 to 52 digits
    o numbers from -1E9999 to 1E9999
    o exact decimal number representation
    o convenience functions like square and cube roots, reciprocal, etc.
    o persistant variables, equations, and state
