-From the introduction to the manual:
-
- "Calc" is an advanced calculator and mathematical tool that runs as
- part of the GNU Emacs environment. Very roughly based on the HP-28/48
- series of calculators, its many features include:
-
- * Choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry of calculations.
-
- * Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers.
-
- * Arithmetic on rational numbers, complex numbers (rectangular and
- polar), error forms with standard deviations, open and closed
- intervals, vectors and matrices, dates and times, infinities,
- sets, quantities with units, and algebraic formulas.
-
- * Mathematical operations such as logarithms and trigonometric functions.
-
- * Programmer's features (bitwise operations, non-decimal numbers).
-
- * Financial functions such as future value and internal rate of return.
-
- * Number theoretical features such as prime factorization and
- arithmetic modulo M for any M.
-
- * Algebraic manipulation features, including symbolic calculus.
-
- * Moving data to and from regular editing buffers.
-
- * "Embedded mode" for manipulating Calc formulas and data directly
- inside any editing buffer.
-
- * Graphics using GNUPLOT, a versatile (and free) plotting program.
-
- * Easy programming using keyboard macros, algebraic formulas,
- algebraic rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp.
-
-
-Calc is written entirely in Emacs Lisp, for maximum portability.
-
-I am anxious to hear about your experiences using Calc. Send mail to
-"jay.p.belanger@gmail.com". A bug report is most useful if you include the
-exact input and output that occurred, any modes in effect (such as the
-current precision), and so on. If you find Calc is difficult to operate
-in any way, or if you have other suggestions, don't hesitate to let me
-know. If you find errors (including simple typos) in the manual, let
-me know. Even if you find no bugs at all I would love to hear your
-opinions.

-
-* Calc now restores original modes when leaving embedded mode.
-
-* User settable variables which are not set with keystrokes are now
- customizable.

-
- * Fixed a minor installation problem with a Emacs 19.29 byte-compiler bug.
-
- * Removed archaic "macedit" package (superseded by "edmacro").
-
-
-Version 2.02c:
-
- * Patch to port Calc to Lucid Emacs 19; still works with GNU 18 and GNU 19.
-
- * Fixed a bug that broke `C-x C-c' after Calc graphics had been used.
-
-
-Version 2.02b:
-

-
-
-Version 2.02:
-
- * Revamped the manual a bit; rearranged some sections.
-
- * Added marginal notes for Key/Function Index refs in printed manual.
-
- * Changed `M-# r' to deal more gracefully with blank lines.
-
- * Made reductions like `V R +' and `M-# :' considerably faster.
-
- * Improved parsing and display of cases like "[a + b]".

- * Improved `u s' to cancel, e.g., "11 mph hr / yd" to get a number.
-
- * Added "quick units" commands "u 0" through "u 9".
-
- * Moved `M-%' to calc.el to avoid autoloading problems.
-
- * Added `M-=' during algebraic entry, acts like `RET ='.
-
- * Made `LFD' prevent evaluation when finishing a calc-edit command.
-
- * Changed calc-store commands to use `t .' mode for trail display.
-
- * Improved integrator to understand forms involving "erf".

- * Fixed parser to make sense of "[1....1e2]" input.
-
- * Fixed FORTRAN parser to treat a(i,j) as a_i_j if a is declared matrix.
-
- * Got rid of some version number stamps to reduce size of patches.
-
- * Fixed a bug in defmath treating "<=" and ">=" predicates.
-
- * Fixed a bug in which Calc crashed multiplying two date forms.
-
- * Fixed a bug in line breaker that crashed for large, nested formulas.
-

-
- * Fixed a bug where `M-# y' in Big mode copied stack level number.
-
- * Fixed a bug where `g O' used wrong default directory, no completion.
-
- * Fixed a bug where "foo_bar(i)" parsed in C mode but showed as foo#bar.
-
- * Fixed several bugs where large calculations got "computation too long."
-
-
-Version 2.01:

- * Fixed a bug where recursive esc-maps make calc-ext/-aent unloadable.
-
- * Fixed a bug in `M-# k', then `OFF' right away, with fresh Emacs.
-
- * Fixed a bug in which "S_i_j" was formatted wrong after `j s'.
-

-
- * Fixed a bug where `z ?' crashed if `z %' was defined.
-
- * Fixed a bug in `j O' (calc-select-once-maybe).
-
- * Fixed "make private" not to ask "Delete excess versions" and crash.
-
-
-Version 2.00:
-
