I refuse to use calculators that aren't RPN, being habituated to the superlative HP series. Calculators without RPN aren't worth squat, IMHO. A cursory check of gcalctool and its man page suggests it isn't worth squat. This is NOT progress. -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc. Hendersonville, NC dad@xxxxxxxx www.datix.us
