My X11R4 xcalc works properly in RPN mode, and reveals the correct values on the stack with "Rv". Calculations indicate correct stack operations as well. -- =============================================================================== | ARPA: kucharsk@Solbourne.COM | William Kucharski | | uucp: ...!{boulder,sun,uunet}!stan!kucharsk | Solbourne Computer, Inc. | = The opinions above are mine alone and NOT those of Solbourne Computer, Inc. =

R3 and earlier versions of xcalc in rpn mode are useless due to bugs. This was "fixed" in the R4 release. There are still bugs in the R4 xcalc -rpn; they're just more subtle :-). The code is nearly incomprehensible, and ought to be rewritten. Volunteers, anyone? Donna Converse converse@expo.lcs.mit.edu
