                          SDLCalc 0.0.1

I got totally fed up with these useless toy calculators that come
with Windows, KDE, GNOME etc - so I hacked this portable 
alternative, using Bison and SDL. SDLCalc is really a calculator 
application for computers, rather than a simulation of some 
primitive pocket calculator. This one lets you enter proper infix 
expressions, use named variables and stuff like that. It has a 
scrolling console for results and a line editor with history. 
It even has OpenGL rendering! :-) (Well, it started out as a 
perversion of smoothscroll. I just left the OpenGL code in.)

  | The default software rendering mode works perfectly, but  |
  |  this app also has GL support, activate it with the -gl   |
  |   switch. I get a msg telling me it's unable to open a    |
  |      a screen though, let me know if it works for you.    |
  | If you are running AOS4 upd4 or earlier remember to start |
  |   WarpView  before running SDLCalc with the -gl option!   | 
  |                                                           | 
  |   The -w (window mode) switch doesn't work, I've never    | 
  |    been able to make an SDL/GL app run in window mode.    | 
  |              A bug in SDL or Warp3D maybe?                |

  |   I am in a shitty economical situation, so if you feel   |
