I've collected a few over the years, too. But obviously they all have
different features. For instance, FDRC is a TSR, and that's probably
already mirrored on iBiblio (and probably came from SF.net). There was also
one bignum demo of some FPC unit (mpcalc? can't remember). Certainly one
more implementation can't hurt. I have various ones stored on my other
machines, if you want some comparisons.
The one I use is called HOC (High Order Calculator), a DOS port from a Unix

I'm no *nix guru, but wasn't that the example code / demo in some
programming book, perhaps about Yacc?
