Yes, I guess so. My initial thoughts were that we have plenty of algebraic languages available already through babel (octave, R, python, ...) so why not support a stack based one more directly. However, the real benefit of calc is that it is *emacs* and not external! Algebraic is more natural to most people so making it easy for them to express themselves makes sense. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 23.2.1 : using Org-mode version 7.02trans (release_7.3.10.g7f79.dirty) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
