Package: dc
Version: 1.06.94-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I would like dc to be able to do some simple string manipulation and file i/o.
I'm attaching a patch that adds the & (concatenate string), @ (split string
into characters), and w (manipulate a file, 'wo' for open, for example)
operations. I have also documented these changes in the man page and texinfo
page.
Hope it helps!
