I use my Emacs package compute.el (www.t-e-k.biz/els/compute.el) for all computations. Since I'm doing everything through Emacs, it is just 1 keystroke (Alt-C) away. Bellow are some examples. Ehud. Compute: 2/3 result: 0.666667. Compute: 2./3 result: 0.666667. Compute: 2+3*4+5 result: 19, \x13. Compute: (2+3)*4+5 result: 25, \x19. Compute: @atan(1)*4 result: 180, \xb4. Compute: @d2r(180) result: 3.141593. Compute: 2/3*6 result: 4, \x4. Compute: 2/(3*6) result: 0.111111. Compute: 2**10 result: 1024, \x400. Compute: A=2**10 A set to 2 result: 1024, \x400. Compute: A=(2**10) A set to 1024 result: 1024, \x400. Compute: A=(A/3) A was 1024 A set to 341.333 result: 341.333333. Compute: A=(A/3) A was 341.333 A set to 113.778 result: 113.777778. -- Ehud Karni Tel: +972-3-7966-561 /"\ Mivtach - Simon Fax: +972-3-7976-561 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Insurance agencies (USA) voice mail and X Against HTML Mail http://www.mvs.co.il FAX: 1-815-5509341 / \ GnuPG: 98EA398D <http://www.keyserver.net/> Better Safe Than Sorry _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
