I use Octave for exactly that. I always have it running in one of the panes of my current desk. It has all the elementary functions built in and lets me smoothly transition from doing simple arithmetic to writing programs. I use Bc when I need arbitrary precision. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
