Product Description:

Wcalc is a very capable calculator. It supports abitrary precision, has standard functions (sin, asin, and sinh for example, in either radians or degrees), many pre-defined constants (pi, e, c, etc.), support for using variables, "active" variables, a command history, hex/octal/binary input and output, unit conversions, embedded comments, and an expandable expression entry field. It evaluates expressions using the standard order of operations.

Wcalc uses intuitive expressions and implicit multiplication. For example, Wcalc will evaluate: 5sin 4!-7*2(4%6)^2 to be -221.96631678. Wcalc will also understand basic UTF-8 entities.

What's new in this version:

This release is, primarily a bugfix release, but also now has a big enough improvement in the processing of international input that I figured it was worth the bigger version bump.

You'll also notice that we have a new icon! Huzzah to Susan Wheeler for designing it!

I wouldn't know about the GUI version but just wanted to say thanks for a top cli calculator. Makes keyboard only calculating a simple and speedy affair.

...the user interface is a bit untidy, and we need a Universal/Intel version please.
