- # Arbitrary precision calculator.
-
- 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.

- 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 <- should produce no error messages
- 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:
-
- dbell@canb.auug.org.au
- chongo@toad.com {uunet,pyramid,sun}!hoptoad!chongo
-
- The file doc/todo section points out some needs for calc. Suggestions
- on other enhancements, and help in doing these are welcome.
