I am allowing this calculator to be freely distributed for personal uses. Like all multi-precision programs, you should not depend absolutely on its results, since bugs in such programs can be insidious and only rarely show up. -dbell- p.s. By Landon Curt Noll To build calc: 1) Look at the makefile, and adjust it to suit your needs. 2) build some calc documentation: (cd help; make full) <- after this, read the file help/full 3) build calc: make 4) test calc: After you have built calc, you can test it by running calc and giving calc the following input: read lib/regress <- error messages should be printed read lib/lucas read lib/lucas_chk lucas_chk(200) <- should produce no error messages exit If you find bugs, or better yet have bug fixes; or if you have suggested changes, or better yet have patches, send them to both myself and DBell: chongo@toad.com {uunet,pyramid,sun}!hoptoad!chongo (DBell was not accessible by Email at the time of this release.) The file doc/todo section points out some needs for calc. Suggestions on other enhancements, and help in doing these are welcome.
