[opensuse] Does 'calc' exist as an 11.4 rpm somewhere?? (the CLI calc not office calc)
Hey guys, Anybody packaged 'calc' as an rpm for 11.4 somewhere. Search on opensuse didn't turn it up. The source is: http://www.isthe.com/chongo/src/calc/ homepage: http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/ The srpm doesn't rebuild right away, but the tarball builds fine. (make, sudo make install). I will look into the srpm when I get a chance, but I was hoping it was already done :) -- David C.

I don't know anything about "calc" however REXX calculations can be given out to 64 decimal positions. I use to use REXX for 24 years in my IT job. I used it along time ago to create bar charts. It is so powerful, I used it to take 370 Object Code and recreate the 370 Assembler Source. David - I have all my programs I used - I could send you some samples. It has the ease of BASIC with a syntax similar to Pascal http://regina-rexx.sourceforge.net/ Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing& Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home& Business user of Linux - 11 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Note: the i586 OBS scheduler was "dead" when I built it, packages for i586 should be built when those boxen are up and running again. BTW: after a first glance at 'calc' I like it ;) Only that it doesn't exit after e.g. "echo '2^8' | calc" makes it not quite usable for scripts. But interactively. Do you know 'bc'? HTH, -dnh PS@other_packagers: if you happen to read this, please have a look at my patch, looking at the generated assembler, it should be ok, but I'm never sure ...

thanks for handling the calc package. I was using an older version but recently tend to use mathomatic.

for shame :^) try: echo '2^8 ;quit' | calc tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
