I forgot about dc! A NetBSD instance I have still has it. Love going back in time to these original utilities.

  If you mean the calculator, bc is based on dc, IIRC. See you later, alliterator.

    Yes, dc calculator, mentioned in this article. Here's the Wikipedia link also given: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dc_%28computer_program%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dc_%28computer_program%29 Here's the NetBSD man page: https://man.netbsd.org/dc.1 https://man.netbsd.org/dc.1

      Yes, I knew about both of them (dc and bc) from before, having worked on Unixen for years. And have used bc a lot. Check out the useful bc -l option. Here is the page for bc: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bc_(programming_language) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bc_(programming_language) which is mentioned in the dc page's See Also section, which is what I alluded to in my earlier comment above, i.e. that bc is built on dc. See the History section of the bc page.
