[comp.unix.programmer] desk-calculator for ANSII-terminal

km11hs@sbuvax.rz.uni-sb.de (Dieter Becker) (06/27/91)

I am looking for a PD desk-calculator with some scientific functions
like log, sin, cos and a friendly "face". Programs, I know, are using
only base-line-entry of data. I'm looking for a program which can be 
used by everyone, not only by specialist. In our system (SINIX) there 
is a program like this (using curses) but it is rather stupid.

I hope You will help me

Thanks

Dieter Becker
