Weird. I was quite sure it was you that I cobbled together the RPM for, see[1], seems still up-to-date BTW.
May have been for me but I do not remember, old timer's I guess :^)
Uhm, I don't remember. But for what does one have a complete local mail-archive? Ah, found it (with ",/ ~P ~b calc" (i.e. for reverse search on mails by me containing 'calc' in the body)), it's even in the still current mbox :) And it actually _was_ dcr, and that mail doesn't qualify for "oldtimer" (but dcr, you and me do): ==== Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2011 06:11:03 +0200 From: David Haller <dnh@opensuse.org> Subject: Re: [opensuse] Does 'calc' exist as an 11.4 rpm somewhere??

I have been using calc for several years, used to dl the source and make local version with chkinstall. Mathomatic now seems to be quite capable in similar circumstances, but syntax is different.
From the description in software.o.o mathomatic is quite a bit more
