Calc Software Package for Number Calc

    Applied Makefile, cscript/Makefile and custom/Makefile patches to
    fix install mode problems, to deal with sorting and dates in I18n
    environments (such as Japanese), to fix some problems with calc.spec
    and to fix the cscript #! header lines.  Thanks goes to KAWAMURA Masao
    (kawamura at mlb.co.jp) for the bug report and patch!

    Fixed headers on fproduct.calc powerterm.calc 4dsphere.calc so
    that they are correcly changed on installation.

    Added ${GREP} Makefile variable.

    The top level Makefile now sets LANG=C and passes it down to
    lower level Makefiles.

    Updated URLs in cal/lucas.cal comments.

    Now shipping calc.spec, inst_files, spec-template and Makefile.linux
    with the standard calc source distribution.  Note that the standard
    Makefile has not changed.  The Makefile.linux only in minor ways
    needed to build calc rpms.

    Added $T Makefile variable.  $T is the top level directory under
    which calc will be installed.  The calc install is performed under $T,
    the calc build is performed under /.  The purpose for $T is to allow
    someone to install calc somewhere other than into the system area.
    For example when forming the calc rpm, the Makefile is called with
    T=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT.  If $T is empty, calc is installed under /.

    Removed all echo_XYZ rules except for echo_inst_files from lower
    level makefile.  The calc.spec will use a make install rule
    with T=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT.

    Updated LIBRARY file with instructions related to -DCALC_SRC,
    the new default include file location and -lcustcalc.


The following are the changes from calc version 2.11.5t3 to 2.11.5t4:

    The Makefile will now send both stdout and stderr to /dev/null
    when compiling hsrc intermediates.

    The config("verbose_quit") value was restored to a default
    value of FALSE.

    Added the cscript:

	powerterm [base_limit] value

    to write the value as the sum (or difference) of powers <= base_limit
    where base_limit by default is 10000.

    Applied a bug fix by Dr.D.J.Picton <dave at aps5.ph.bham.ac.uk>
    to have help with no args print the default help file.

    Renamed lavarand to LavaRnd.

    Added rules to build a calc rpm.

    All installed files are first formed as foo.new, and then moved
    into place as foo via a atomic rename.

    During installation, only files that are different are installed.
    If the built file and the installed file are the same, no
    installation is performed.

    Calc has new default installation locations:

    Makefile var   old location			      new location
    ------------   ------------			      ------------
    TOPDIR	   /usr/local/lib		        <<no longer used>>
    BINDIR	   /usr/local/bin		      /usr/bin
    SHAREDIR	      <<not set>>		      /usr/share
    INCDIR	   /usr/local/include		      /usr/include
    LIBDIR	   /usr/local/lib/calc		      /usr/lib
    CSHAREDIR	      <<not set>>		      /usr/share/calc
    HELPDIR	   /usr/local/lib/calc/help           /usr/share/calc/help
    INCDIRCALC	   /usr/local/include/calc	      /usr/include/calc
    CUSTOMLIBDIR   /usr/local/lib/calc/custom	      /usr/share/calc/custom
    CUSTOMHELPDIR  /usr/local/lib/calc/help/custhelp  /usr/share/calc/custhelp
    CUSTOMINCDIR     <<not set>>		      /usr/include/calc/custom
    SCRIPTDIR	   /usr/local/bin/cscript	      /usr/bin/cscript
    MANDIR	     <<not set>>		      /usr/share/man/man1
    CATDIR	     <<not set>>		        <<not set>>

    The Makefile variable ${TOPDIR} is no longer used.  In some places
    it has been replaced by a new Makefile variable ${SHAREDIR}.  Some
    of the old TOPDIR functionality has been replaced by ${CSHAREDIR}.

    The install rules no longer remove old obsolete files.  We assume
    that these old files have long since vanished!  :-)

    Reduced the amount of output when doing a make all where nothing
    needs to be made.

    Reduced the amount of output when doing a make install where nothing
    needs to be installed.

    If you install using the new default locations, you can remove
    old calc files installed in the old default location by doing:

	make olduninstall


The following are the changes from calc version 2.11.5t2 to 2.11.5t2.1:

    Fixed a bug, reported by Ernest Bowen <ernie at turing dot
    une dot edu dot au> that caused command lines to be echoed in
    interactive mode.  Fixed a bug that sometimes left the terminal
    in a non-echoing state when calc exited.

    Renamed error codes E_FGETWORD1 and E_FGETWORD2 symbols to
    E_FGETFIELD1 and E_FGETFIELD2.

    Made a minor format change to the top of the calc man page.

    The findid() function in file.c 2nd argument changed.  The argument
    is now mostly a writable flag.  This function now finds the file
    I/O structure for the specified file id, and verifies that
    it is opened in the required manner (0 for reading or 1 for writing).
    If the 2nd argument is -1, then no open checks are made at all and
    NULL is then returned if the id represents a closed file.

    The calc builtin function, fopen(), now allows one to specify
    opening files in binary modes.  On POSIX / Linux / Un*x-like systems,
    text file is the same as a binary file and so 'b' to an fopen has
    no effect and is ignored.  However on systems such as MS Windoz
    the 'b' / binary mode has meaning.  See 'help fopen' for details.

    On systems (such as MS Windoz), calc will produce a different error
    message when it attempts to open /dev/tty.  This will condition
    will occur in things like calc scripts when they switch from ``batch
    processing'' commands from and want to start interactive mode.

    Regression tests fopen in binary mode in a few places where a
    difference between text and binary string lengths matter.
    The intfile calc resource file also uses binary mode.

    Changed the rand() builtin and its related functions srand() and
    randbit() to use the Subtractive 100 generator instead of the
    additive 55 generator.  This generator as improved random properties.
    As a result, of this change, the values produced by rand(),
    rand() and randbit() are now different.

    Updated regression tests for new rand() and randbit() output.

    Applied a bug fix from Ernest Bowen <ernie at turing dot une dot
    edu dot au> dealing with one-line "static" declaration like:

    	static a = 1, b;

    Added regression test 8310 to test for the static bug fix.


The following are the changes from calc version 2.11.5t0 to 2.11.5t1.1:

    Fixed a compile problem with Linux 2.4 / Debian.  Thanks goes
    to Martin Buck <m at rtin-buck dot de> for help with this issue.

    Fixed a bug in how L64_FORMAT (it determined if "%ld" or "%lld"
    is appropriate for printing of 64 bit long longs) was determined.
    Thanks goes to Martin Buck <m at rtin-buck dot de> for reporting
    this bug and testing the fix.

    An effort was made to make calc easier to build under Windoz
    using the Cygwin project (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/).
    Thanks to the work of Thomas Jones-Low (tjoneslo at softstart
    dot com), a number of #if defined(_WIN32)'s have been added
    to calc source.  These changes should not effect Windoz
    free system such as GNU/Linux, Solaris, POSIX-like, etc ...

    Added windll.h to deal with Windoz related DLL issues.
    Using the convention of 'extern DLL' instead of 'DLL extern'
    to deal with symbols that export to or import from a DLL.

    Added HAVE_MALLOC_H, HAVE_STDLIB_H, HAVE_STRING_H, HAVE_TIMES_H,
    HAVE_SYS_TIMES_H, HAVE_TIME_H, HAVE_SYS_TIME_H, HAVE_UNISTD_H
    and HAVE_URANDOM to the Makefile.  If these symbols are empty,
    then the Makefile looks for the appropriate system include file.
    If they are YES, then the Makefile will assume they exist.
    If they are NO, then the Makefile will assume they do not exist.

    Changed HAVE_URANDOM to match the empty, YES, NO values.
    If HAVE_URANDOM is empty, then the Makefile will look for /dev/urandom.
    If HAVE_URANDOM is YES, then the Makefile will assume /dev/urandom exists.
    If HAVE_URANDOM is NO, then the Makefile will assume /dev/urandom does
    not exist.

    If TERMCONTROL is -DUSE_WIN32, then the Windoz terminal control
    (no TERMIOS, no TERMIO, no SGTTY) will be assumed.

    Added a win32_hsrc Makefile rule to create hsrc files appropriate
    for a Windoz system using Cygwin gcc environment.  Added win32.mkdef
    which is used by the win32_hsrc rule to set the Windoz specific
    Makefile values to build hsrc files.  The hsrc files are built
    under the win32 directory.

    Added FPOS_POS_BITS, OFF_T_BITS, DEV_BITS and INODE_BITS Makefile
    symbols to allow one to force the size of a file position, file
    offset, dev and inode value.  Leaving these values blank will
    Makefile to determine their size.

    Fixed a bug in the way file offsets, device and inode values are copied.

    Added chi.cal for a initial stab as a Chi^2 function.  The chi_prob()
    function does not work well with odd degrees of freedom, however.

    Added big 3 to config("resource_debug").  Calc resource file scripts
    check for config("resource_debug") & 8 prior to printing internal debug
    statements.  Thus by default they do not print them.

    Added intfile.cal as a calc resource file script:

	file2be(filename)

	    Read filename and return an integer that is built from the
	    octets in that file in Big Endian order.  The first octets
	    of the file become the most significant bits of the integer.

	file2le(filename)

	    Read filename and return an integer that is built from the
	    octets in that file in Little Endian order.  The first octets
	    of the file become the most significant bits of the integer.

	be2file(v, filename)

	    Write the absolute value of v into filename in Big Endian order.
	    The v argument must be on integer.  The most significant bits
	    of the integer become the first octets of the file.

	le2file(v, filename)

	    Write the absolute value of v into filename in Little Endian order.
	    The v argument must be on integer.  The least significant bits
	    of the integer become the last octets of the file.

    Added the following help aliases:

	copy	blkcpy
	read	command
	write	command
	quit	command
	exit	command
	abort	command
	cd	command
	show	command

    Added the cscript:

	fproduct filename term ...

    to write the big Endian product of terms to a filename.  Use - for stdout.

    Fixed calc path in help/script.

    Added read-only parameter, config("windows") to indicate if the system
    is MS windowz WIN32 like system.

    Configuration values that used to return "true" or "false" now return
    1 (a true value) or 0 (a false value).  Thus one can do:

    	if (config("tab")) { ... } else { ... }

    The configuration values that now return 1 or 0 are:

	config("tilde")
	config("tab")
	config("leadzero")
	config("blkverbose")
	config("verbose_quit")
	config("windows")

    Now shipping a win32 sub-directory that contains hsrc .h files
    that have been attempted to be built for windoz.


The following are the changes from calc version 2.11.4t1 to 2.11.4t2:

    Added missing test8600.cal test file.

    Fixes cscript files to deal with the -S flag being replaced by
    -f and possibly other flags.

    Added regression tests for builtin functions bernoulli, catalan,
    euler, freeeuler, and sleep.  Added non-base 10 regression tests
    for digit, digits and places.

    The bernoulli.cal script now just calls the bernoulli() builtin
    function.  It remains for backward compatibility.

    The Makefile now builds have_fpos_pos.h to determine if the
    a non-scalar FILEPOS has a __pos stucture element.  If it does,
    the FILEPOS_BITS is taken to be the size of just the __pos element.

    Misc fixes related to non-scalar (e.g., structure) FILEPOS.  Fixed
    a compile problems where non-scalar FILEPOS were incorrectly assigned.

    Fixed make depend rule.

    Return an error on malloc / realloc failures for bernoulli and
    euler functions.

    Added MAKEFILE_REV make variable to help determine Makefile version.
    Fixed the way the env rule reports Makefile values.


The following are the changes from calc version 2.11.3t0 to 2.11.4:

    Increased the maximum number of args for functions from 100 to 1024.
    Increased calc's internal evaluation stack from 1024 to 2048 args.
    Added test8600.cal to the regression suite to test these new limits.

    Updated and fixed misc typos in calc/README.

    Clarified in the COPYING file that ALL calc source files, both
    LGPL covered and exceptions to the LGPL files may be freely used
    and distributed.

    Added help files or updated for: bernoulli, calc_tty, catalan,
    digit, digits, euler, freeeuler, places and sleep.

    A collection of 18 patches from Ernest Bowen
    <ernie at turing dot une dot edu dot au>:

    (1)  A new flag -f has been defined which has the effect of a read
    command without the need to terminate the file name with a semicolon
    or newline.  Thus:

	    calc "read alpha; read beta;"

    may be replaced by:

	    calc -f alpha -f beta
