REQ: Calculator program...

[Chaos Master]

Hello.

I'm looking for a calculator program that *DOESN'T SHOW* large numbers
in scientifical notation (e.g. 1E+8 = 1 * 10^8).

Rather, I want the program to give me the full number (e.g. 100000000)
and do operations using this format.

Anybody knows of any? I really hate scientifical notation.

The dc "Desk Calculator" and bc "Basic Calculator" programs on UNIX do
this, so the dc and bc that come with Cygwin or are part of a GNU port
to your OS will do it.

You want bc, dc uses RPN and can be confusing.

I've used (UNIX) bc over the decades to validate up 30K-digit
arithmetic, and it's not failed on me yet. (Can't swear as to Cygwin or
GNU versions being as tight, as I haven't used them for such things,
only the AT&T version).
