Thanks for the info. I had always thought bc was before christ.
ckm@hades: ~> dict bc
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02) [foldoc]:
BC An {arbitrary precision} numeric processing language with {C}-like {syntax}. Traditionally implemented as a front-end to {DC}. There is a {GNU} version called {GNU BC}. {Unix manual page}: bc(1).
Found X-bc and installed. Looks pretty good although it does not have metric-english conversions like allercalc. Maybe in the future it will have.
Doubtful. Check out units(1). -- -ckm
