  Emacs.  XEmacs has calc built-in, so you only need this package if you
  are using GNU Emacs.  Very roughly based on the HP-28/48
  series of calculators, calc's many features include:
-    * Choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry of calculations.
-    * Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers.
-    * Arithmetic on rational numbers, complex numbers (rectangular and
-      polar), error forms with standard deviations, open and closed
-      intervals, vectors and matrices, dates and times, infinities,
-      sets, quantities with units, and algebraic formulas.
-    * Mathematical operations such as logarithms and trigonometric functions.
-    * Programmer's features (bitwise operations, non-decimal numbers).
-    * Financial functions such as future value and internal rate of return.
-    * Number theoretical features such as prime factorization and
-      arithmetic modulo M for any M.
-    * Algebraic manipulation features, including symbolic calculus.
-    * Moving data to and from regular editing buffers.
-    * "Embedded mode" for manipulating Calc formulas and data directly
-      inside any editing buffer.
-    * Graphics using GNUPLOT, a versatile (and free) plotting program.
-    * Easy programming using keyboard macros, algebraic formulas,
-      algebraic rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp.

  Emacs 22 has a newer version of this package, so the built in calc
  should be used with newer versions of Emacs.
